The things that keep fleet managers up at night shifted slightly through the end of March 2025, according to a winter survey conducted by ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council’s (TMC) — at least when it comes to TMC fleet members’ top maintenance worries.
More than 400 TMC fleet members were asked to share their current top five fleet maintenance concerns, based on a wide-ranging list of 85 possible choices from which to select. Of those responding, the following were identified as the top reported concerns in descending order:
1. The top maintenance issue identified in the Winter 2025 Survey was Emissions/GHG.
2. Aftertreatment was identified as the number two maintenance issue facing fleets.
3. Tires was identified by fleets as number three.
4. Cost Containment was identified as number four.
5. Inflation (Parts, Oil, Fuel, Equipment) was identified as number five.
