The Five Cascading Benefits to Creating a Culture of Safety
By Adam Danielson, Director, Business Development & Sales, SuperVision
Now more than ever, safety has become a top priority for many fleets.
In addition to protecting drivers and the public, companies are realizing that a focus on safety also maximizes company assets and cuts unnecessary operational costs.
As a result, driver training programs are becoming more comprehensive and effective, helping to improve driver risk profiles and curtail liability costs from accidents.
But these benefits are only part of the safety story.
From Being Stuck to Unstuck: Tactics to Help You When Your Mind is Against You
By Carlos Oropeza, Wheels

Recently, I was struck by an essay written by a teenage relative. How often have any of us been in this place of being “stuck” and yet not recognizing it as a mental health issue?
I don’t need to tell you that being a fleet professional is stressful. We face numerous challenges that keep us up at night, such as cost reduction, driver safety, doing more with less, staying up to date with data for strategic decisions, and staying on top of the latest fleet trends.
As a fleet family, let's look out for one another and offer a helping hand if we see someone struggling because they are stranded on the side of the emotional road. There are so many mental health resources available, but the first step is to acknowledge your situation.
Colorado Offers Millions to Help Truck and Car Fleets Plug In
Colorado state officials are dangling $7 million to changeover fossil fuel use in the state to clean-generated electricity.
The fund is part of $310 million in electrification funding available through the Colorado Energy Office and other state agencies in coming years. The budget is also committed to tax credits for new and used electric vehicle purchases.
Fleet ZERO offers grants for building fast charging stations to local governments or private businesses that run large groups of light-, medium- or heavy-duty electric vehicles.
The government has done its job requiring manufacturers to produce increasing percentages of clean electric vehicles of all sizes, state regulators say, and now Colorado must ease the change with grants for charging and other support systems.
