We’re very pleased to welcome the addition of another exclusive, thoughtful monthly column in Fleet Management Weekly.
This week, we feature Element Fleet Management’s new column Fleet Asset Management: Material Handling Equipment 101. The author, Keith Trumbull, Vice President of Material Handling Equipment at Element, says, “As fleet managers, each day you work to ensure your fleet is cost effective and efficient. You likely have a plan in place to manage your cars and trucks. But do you have a similar strategy for other assets in your organization, such as forklifts, pickers, pallet jacks and other material handling equipment?” Good question — read Keith’s article to learn what you need to consider.
It’s easy to be confused about IRS compliance for personal use of company vehicles, but Matt Betz, Vice President of Business Development, Fleet at Motus, explains it all so clearly in his timely column: The Modern Mobile Worker: Doing The Right Thing.
Have you visited our newly-revamped Fleet Management Weekly website? We urge you to check it out — in it you’ll find a wealth of news, columns, videos, and articles of interest to our fleet community. We welcome your comments and suggestions – we’re tweaking the site constantly.
