Truck-as-a-Service primarily offers services such as digital freight brokerage, telematics, data analytics, and truck platooning. Digital freight brokerages are online platforms facilitating communication between shipping businesses and truck drivers via digital apps. These services find application across various sectors including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, fast-moving consumer goods, and food and beverages.

Tariffs are influencing the truck-as-a-service market by increasing costs of imported connected vehicle hardware, telematics devices, sensors, and advanced maintenance components used in service-based trucking fleets. Fleet operators in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported technology modules, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for platform exports. These tariffs are increasing service pricing and slowing fleet expansion. However, they are also encouraging domestic telematics development, localized fleet servicing, and innovation in cost-efficient service-based trucking ecosystems.

The growing shortage of drivers is anticipated to boost the expansion of the truck-as-a-service market in the coming years. Driver shortages occur when there are not enough qualified individuals to fill driver roles, especially in sectors like transportation and logistics. Truck-as-a-service helps mitigate this challenge by offering access to professional drivers as part of the service, easing recruitment and retention issues. For example, in April 2024, a report by the International Road Transport Union (IRU), a Switzerland-based organization, indicated that the EU, Norway, and the UK face a deficit of over 233,000 truck drivers, expected to rise above 745,000 by 2028 due to retirements if no measures are taken. On average, truck drivers in Europe earn 55% more than the national minimum wage, with wages reaching 133% in the Netherlands. Consequently, the rising driver shortage is fueling the demand for truck-as-a-service.

Major companies in the truck-as-a-service market are focusing on developing innovative offerings, such as usage-based truck leasing options. A usage-based truck leasing option is a flexible leasing model for commercial trucks in which the lease cost is tied to the vehicle's actual usage or mileage rather than a fixed monthly payment. For example, in December 2023, Mack Trucks, Inc., a U.S.-based truck manufacturer, announced the launch of the ElectriFi Subscription Program. This program was introduced for the company's MD Electric medium-duty truck. Under this subscription, customers can pay based on the number of miles they drive each month, following a pay-as-you-go structure. Subscriptions begin with a minimum term of three years, with the option to extend up to six years. At the end of the subscription period, customers may choose to renew the plan, purchase the truck, or end the agreement. The subscription fee is tiered and determined based on a minimum monthly mileage requirement of 1,700 miles.

In June 2025, hylane, a Germany-based transport-as-a-service company, partnered with Daimler Truck and DHL Group to deploy fully electric heavy-duty trucks under a usage-based Truck-as-a-Service model for parcel logistics operations. Through this collaboration, hylane, Daimler Truck, and DHL Group aim to combine electric truck technology with pay-per-kilometer fleet operations to enhance logistics performance and operational efficiency, lower upfront investment and operational complexity for fleet operators, and support long-term decarbonization and sustainability in road freight transport. Daimler Truck is a Germany-based commercial vehicle manufacturer that focuses on the development and production of heavy-duty trucks, including battery-electric models, while DHL Group is a Germany-based logistics and supply chain services company specializing in freight transportation, parcel delivery, and large-scale logistics networks.
