The Cost of Reactive Aftertreatment (& How Top Fleets Are Fixing It)

New Research

For too many LTL fleets, aftertreatment maintenance still follows the same costly pattern: wait for a warning light, pull the truck from service under pressure, absorb an unplanned repair expense and repeat.

In a new report — The Cost of Reactive Aftertreatment for LTL Fleets — Ceramex North America’s JT Roberson and Matt Brady examine four persistent myths that keep fleets locked into reactive aftertreatment practices. Find out why "the way we’ve always done it" might be the most expensive policy in your shop and how leading carriers are shifting to a more strategic approach.

Here’s a preview of the report key insights:

• Why aftertreatment has historically been treated as a reactive maintenance category

• How proactive fleets schedule service hundreds of thousands of miles in advance

• What it takes to build reliable budget forecasts and cost controls around your aftertreatment program

Did you know? When fleets service their aftertreatment systems before they reach a point of catastrophic failure, core loss typically remains below 10%, meaning that restoration, rather than replacement, is the more viable and more cost-effective option.
