Fleet Economics Uncovered

In this revealing clip from ACT Research’s 73rd Seminar, we explore why private fleet costs — now estimated at over $4 per mile — are playing a pivotal role in reshaping freight dynamics.

ACT experts break down the growing spread between private fleet operating costs and the for-hire market, and what it signals for future freight demand. The analysis includes insights into post-pandemic supply chain control, fraud, and other hard-to-quantify factors driving today’s unusual market conditions. 🔍 Key Highlights: Private fleet costs vs. for-hire spot/contract rates Why shippers are re-evaluating fleet strategies $4.50/mile breakdown: What’s driving private fleet expense?
