Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average maintenance cost per mile for a semi truck?

The average maintenance cost ranges from $0.15–$0.25 per mile for well-maintained trucks. Older trucks (10+ years) can reach $0.30–$0.40/mile. Preventive maintenance typically costs 3–5x less than emergency repairs.

How much does a breakdown cost a trucking company?

The average roadside breakdown costs $500–$1,500 for the repair itself, plus $500–$2,000/day in lost revenue from downtime. Towing alone can cost $300–$800. Total cost per breakdown event averages $1,500–$3,500.

How does preventive maintenance reduce costs?

Studies show PM programs reduce total maintenance costs by 25–40%. They prevent catastrophic failures, extend component life, reduce downtime by 50–70%, and keep vehicles compliant with FMCSA regulations.

What PM intervals should I follow?

Common intervals: oil changes every 15,000–25,000 miles, tire rotations every 50,000 miles, brake inspections every 30,000 miles, and full annual inspections. Follow OEM recommendations for your specific vehicles.
