It is that time of year when many of us turn our attention to the coming New Year and formulate goals for our business operations and our own personal growth before the rush and excitement of the holidays!
In Four Trends Fleet Managers Will Focus on in 2026, Demetra Markopoulos, Senior VP at Service Up, says, “The managers who understand these trends will be in a stronger position to improve operational efficiency, retain drivers, and reduce costs.”
Top of mind for every fleet is ensuring that their drivers are safe. In Driver Safety Demands Both: Why Training and Coaching Work Best Together, FMW editor and fleet expert Ed Pierce writes, “The smartest fleets don’t pick sides – they combine the strengths of both training and coaching.”
If you are new to Fleet or just want to brush up on the fundamentals, NAFA Fleet Management Association is offering a free limited-run Fleet 101 Online Live Instruction Course to cover the basics of fleet with an overview of every key aspect of the profession. January 12-15. This is a terrific opportunity!
