Aftertreatment Is the Silent Killer of Small Fleets | The Long Haul

Aftertreatment Is the Silent Killer of Small Fleets | The Long Haul

Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

Aftertreatment failures don’t usually show up as one big catastrophic bill — they show up as downtime, repeat derates, misdiagnosed parts, and decisions made under financial stress.

In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, I sit down with RJ Bordner to break down the real-world economics of aftertreatment from the perspective small carriers actually live with. We talk about post-warranty realities, OEM versus aftermarket tradeoffs, inventory delays, technician variability, and why “good enough” often ends up being the most expensive choice.

This is not a product conversation.This is a decision-quality conversation for owner-operators and small fleets trying to stay moving in a market where every parked truck hurts.
