Fleet Management’s Holy Grail: Lowering a Vehicle’s Total Cost of Ownership

By Richard Mallek, Director of Business Development, FLD Remarketing

Earlier this year I wrote an article for Fleet Management Weekly titled “There May Never Be a Better Time to Remarket Vehicles and Equipment.” And despite the fact that the fleet industry continues to experience a variety of challenges, that may be even more true today than it was just four short months ago for several reasons, including:

Historically high resale prices caused by new vehicle and driver shortages
The need for fleets to right size at a time when business models and missions are changing
A desire for liquidity and flexibility
Risk avoidance
Higher ROI

But of all the reasons there may never be a better time to sell used vehicles and equipment, the truth is that one stands head and shoulders above the rest.
