Tire Costs and Cost Prevention for Cottrell Owners, Carhauler Fleets, and Truckers
Tire inflation systems are pretty essential. Based on Federal studies A few key points from this report to consider:
- Tire-related costs are the single largest maintenance cost item for commercial vehicle fleet operators.
- Fuel economy loss due to improper tire inflation is about 0.6% for typical TL and LTL operations.
- Improper tire inflation is likely responsible for about one roadcall per year per tractor-trailer
- For a typical TL or LTL operator, improper tire inflation increases the total operating costs by about $750 annually per tractor-trailer combination.
- Most fleet maintenance departments ask operators to check tire pressures weekly. However, if operators only check tires twice a month, the total annual labor would be approximately 12 hours (0.5 hours/inspection × 24 inspections). At $25/hour, the cost would total $300 annually in tire inspection costs
- Cost penalties for other types of fleets are similar and range from about $600 to $800.
