This morning I had the pleasant experience of listening to birds chirping as I got ready for the day. It may sound cliché or unextraordinary but after months of steadfast silence, it was a simple yet poignant reminder that Spring is officially upon us.

First, for fleet managers, I hope you receive all the vehicles you ordered and then some. Passenger cars, pickup trucks – class 5’s! As many as you want - whenever you want!
