- Database of common repair costs and downtime for DEF/emissions vs. older engines
- Compare side-by-side up to 3 trucks
- Include fuel economy based on load and route type
Target Users: Owner-operators and small fleet owners in the trucking industry looking to buy a used truck
Revenue Model: $9.99 per comparison report, or $29/month subscription for unlimited comparisons and fleet tracking
