Our new site at FleetManagementWeekly.com has been live for just over a week, and we're still working away to tweak and perfect it. After all, we want it to be as informative and helpful for our fleet industry-leading readers as it can possibly be.
The newly revamped site is far more dynamic than what we had previously, and will feature more daily updates on fleet industry news and trends.
We strive to offer you far more than news, though, and the new site makes it easy for you to find engaging, informative content that's geared to help you do your job better. That's the kind of content that publishers like to call 'evergreen,' because it's just as useful next month or next year as it is today.
Great examples of this engaging, evergreen content include the columnists we've been featuring for the past couple months -- leading fleet industry experts sharing their personal knowledge and advice on key industry topics:
We've gotten a few comments and suggestions on the new site already, but would love to hear from you as well: just email me at [email protected] and let me know what you think.

Yes, gone are the days when you could take that company flight, knowing that you were burning through a work day by “working” in the loosest possible sense. Back in those pre-2006 days you’d spend your business flight with your tray table up, complimentary beverage in hand and good tunes on the earbuds, content in the fact that your boss considered you productive at that moment.
But now, with in-flight Wi-Fi being so commonplace, the cabin has become a mobile office. No matter how far workers fly, their emails can follow them through the cloud. And for U.S. businesses looking to clamp down on lost productivity due to travel, this is a very good thing.
For evidence, look no further than the following infographic, highlighting some crucial savings businesses enjoy when their employees can stay grounded at 40,000 feet.

Remember when phones were primarily devices used for phone conversations? It seems quaint, now that smartphones have evolved to become mobile information hubs for our needs on the go. Voice calling is so 2000.
Remember when we used to think of automobiles primarily as transportation devices to get us from point A to B? Oh, wait. That’s how most of us still think of cars. But not for long.
The transformation has begun and in a few years, the idea that a car’s sole purpose is transportation — will also seem quaint.
Most motorists don’t heed advice about known hazards until they happen to them or someone they know. If you write about safety issues long enough, you’ve interviewed a lot of people with first hand experience. And few things stay with you longer than those first-person tales.
Consider the horror that befell Kids and Cars founder Janette Fennell and her family in 1995. She and her husband were carjacked, robbed and left in their trunk in an remote location. They escaped, but didn’t know the fate of their infant son until they arrived back home to find him sitting in his baby seat unharmed in the driveway.
She went on to found the advocacy group Kids and Cars and successfully lobbied to get trunk releases required in all new vehicles.
