1What's the real ROI — not the marketing number?
NACFE-validated mid-range: $3,140–$4,600 per truck per year at Tier 4 (full ATIS). Payback is 7–11 months; 5-year ROI exceeds 4×. Actuals depend on duty cycle but every published study shows positive net.
2How do I know it actually prevents accidents?
FMCSA: tire failures cause ~8,000 large-truck crashes/year; underinflated tires triple crash risk. Aperia Halo Connect deployments reduce roadside breakdowns by 70%; predictive alerts catch slow leaks 3–14 days before failure.
3What does my driver actually have to do?
For Tier 4: nothing extra. ATIS pumps automatically while rolling. For Tier 1–3: gamified pre-trip walkaround in the HST app (~90 sec) plus tap-to-acknowledge alerts. Drivers earn safety bonuses for high Tire Care Scores.
4How long until we're operational?
Tier 1 (driver app): 2 weeks. Tier 2 (TPMS): 30–45 days per fleet. Tier 3/4 (Halo install): 60–90 days; install per truck is ~3 hours during scheduled PM. No new yards needed.
5What about CSA scores and insurance?
Vehicle Maintenance BASIC violations drop sharply once §393.75 tire issues are caught preemptively. Insurers (Great West, Protective, Nat'l Interstate) discount 3–8% for fleets with active TPMS/ATIS programs. CSA improvement is documented in 90 days.
6Why now? Why not wait?
From 2026, the major OEMs offer ATIS on the steer axle — closing the last coverage gap. Insurance carriers are pricing in TPMS adoption. Every quarter you delay costs ~$78,500 per 100 trucks in foregone savings, plus the safety risk of the next preventable blowout.
