Description

Thursday, November 19, 2020
11am-12pm

Trailer costs are among the most common issues plaguing carriers. From lost time and money due to detention to maintenance and repair fees, these costs quickly add up to become the top expense for carriers, averaging more than $500 per truck per week. Furthermore, detention is a top frustration for drivers, who have become increasingly difficult to retain in today’s environment.

To assess the hidden costs of trailers and understand how companies can help mitigate these costs, FreightWaves and Spireon partnered to conduct an industry survey and will be exploring the findings during a live webinar. 

During the session, we will hear insights from FreightWaves Research Analyst Andrew Cox, who will share:

• The most common reasons behind trailer detention

• Average annual costs for tires and technical issues

• How trailer technology can help companies get ahead of these costs and keep drivers on the road

• The importance of trailer readiness in improving driver satisfaction
