The 2026 private fleet is built around supply chain prowess that ensures customer service expectations are met with timely deliveries, assured capacity, insulation from volatile market rates, cost control, and keeping products in good shape during transit.
The Benchmarking Survey Report is widely regarded as the foremost authoritative resource on private truck fleet operating practices in the U.S. and the most valued of Council membership benefits. It serves as the gold standard by which fleets assess performance against national standards and a scorecard for fleet justification and continuous improvement.
As an exclusive members-only benefit, the report highlights key trends and operating metrics of private fleets on a wide range of protocols, best practices, and leading standards used to measure differentiating qualities which private fleets bring to corporate transportation including:
- Why Companies Operate Private Fleets
- Outbound Versus Inbound Freight Ratios
- Performance and Optimization Trends
- Driver Issues and Labor Trends
- Cost Center versus Profit Center
- Cost Performance
- Safety Trends
- Future Growth of Private Fleets
To augment the value of the Report, NPTC will provide upon request to fleet members “customized data pulls” for showing comparisons and contrasts with peer fleets. Contact Tom Moore at tmoore@nptc.org for more information.
