For the latest Truck Chat Weekly Cheat Sheet, we start with a look at how more than 250 years of American progress helped shape the work trucks fleets rely on today, followed by a deep dive into the commercial truck tire industry in 2025 and why tires are becoming a strategic decision tied to safety, uptime, and total cost of ownership.
We also explore how better work orders can improve communication, maintenance efficiency, and data quality across fleet operations.
To round it out, we connect key trends that defined 2025: Rising costs reshaping fleet decisions, maintenance and uptime taking center stage, and safety, security, and risk management becoming non-negotiable.
And in quick hits:
Workhorse Group and Motiv Electric Trucks completed their merger,
Peterbilt expanded its electric vehicle portfolio with new medium-duty models,
