ATA ANTITRUST GUIDEKnowledge of TMC and its body of work varies greatly among fleets and service providers, depending upon their involvement in the Council. A systematic process for leveraging TMC's Recommended Practices (RPs) would benefit maintenance operations for commercial motor vehicles. This Information Report provides a basis for selection and implementation of TMC RPs that are relevant to a particular operation and for measurement of the return to that organization by giving examples of methods used successfully by members of TMC.

New requirements for reduced stopping distance (RSD) and stability are prompting manufacturers to consider emerging technologies in order reduce response time in heavy-duty commercial braking systems, thereby improving overall vehicle safety and efficiency. TMC recommends accelerating research and development of future braking systems to overcome limitations of current pneumatic braking system designs, leverage emerging technologies in conjunction with those currently available in the marketplace.
ABSTRACT Fifty-four TMC member fleet and service provider members responded to TMC’s “Fleet & Service Provider Average Standard Repair Times Survey,” which was administered in the first quarter of 2019. The purpose of the study was to aid in establishing baseline repair times that will improve shop productivity and profitability. The survey was based on Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS) making it easier to aggregate repair times.
