How trucking’s costs changed in 2024 from 2023

Aug 12, 2025 | Articles

The American Transportation Research Institute has released its annual Operational Costs of Trucking report looking at costs for 2024, which serves as a benchmarking tool for fleets for industry costs, key performance metrics and revenue.

It’s probably not surprising to most in trucking that all-in trucking costs were mostly flat in 2024 from 2023, falling by just 0.4% to $2.26 a mile. If you take the cost of fuel out of the equation, however, costs actually increased by 3.6% from 2023 to $1.78 a mile. Click on link below to see video.
