Maintenance & uptime
Use the cost benchmark to ask better maintenance questions
What the source reports
ATRI’s 2026 operational-cost update reports an industry average of $2.336 per mile for 2025, up 3.4% from the prior year. The reporting year is 2025; this is not a November 2026 operating-cost quote.

For owner-operators
Track repairs, routine service and days unavailable alongside mileage. Compare your own trend over time before treating an industry average as a budget.
For fleets
Separate planned maintenance from breakdown work in your records. Review repeat repairs by unit and discuss recurring issues with your service provider.
FleetMaster takeaway: a lower invoice alone does not measure uptime. Pair service spending with equipment availability to understand whether a maintenance plan is working.
