The refrigerated transportation industry is evolving, and data is driving smarter asset decisions now more than ever.

Next week at the Truckload Carriers Association Refrigerated Meeting, PLM Fleet's Don Durm, Vice President of Supply Chain Solutions, will moderate a panel discussion on "Balancing Trade Cycles, Data, and the Future of Refrigerated Assets".

Joined by industry leaders:

Tyler Lippincott, Director of Maintenance, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.

Shawn Nelson, Executive Director of Driver Profitability & Success, R.E. Garrison Trucking, Inc.

Trevor Kurtz, CEO, Brian Kurtz Trucking

The conversation will explore how fleets can move beyond mileage-based replacement strategies and leverage TCO data, telematics, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and market insights to make more informed equipment decisions.

Key topics include:

✅ Repair vs. replace strategies powered by real-world fleet data

✅ The 2026 equipment and used-truck market outlook

✅ Identifying the optimal asset replacement "pivot point"

✅ Managing the balance between parked capacity and new equipment investments

We look forward to seeing everyone at and discussing the future of refrigerated fleet management.
