Holman’s TPIN program consolidates telematics and other operational data for your fleet on a single platform. The goal is not just to bring data together, but to truly integrate it so fleets can view performance as a whole and make faster, better decisions.

Fleets can get information that would be hard, if not impossible, to find on their own by combining telematics with data on maintenance, lifecycle, fuel, and drivers.

TPIN works with various TSPs to ensure their data is transmitted to Holman in a consistent and standardized format. This makes things easier for fleets and speeds up the process of bringing on new partners and capabilities.

Holman’s TPIN is more about change than technology. It means moving from separate pieces of information to a single source of intelligence and from passive monitoring to active management.

Picking up on a theme we saw play out at March’s Work Truck Week in Indianapolis, the NAFA I&E pulled into Cleveland April 13-15, rolled up its collective sleeves, and got down to the business at hand. The Fleet Business, that is.

And if the positive feedback – and sustained buzz – from attendees is any indication, the afterglow has continued for the last few weeks. From what I’m hearing, a lot of people got a whole lot of things done over three jam packed days in Cleveland.

The conference teemed with education sessions and seminars – more than 50 were hosted by fleet pros for fleet pros. And the sold out show floor featured over 250 exhibitors.

And in between, there were enough parties, luncheons, and client meetings to keep the more than 2,300 attendees  – an 8% increase over the previous year – busy.

Fuel prices have been climbing for more than a month, with real pain at the pump hitting our customers’ bottom lines. For businesses that live on the road every cent they spend on fuel matters.

Coast surveyed 217 fleet operators across a range of industries to understand how they feel about the price increase and, more importantly, what they’re doing about it.

The results paint a picture of industries under pressure, improvising in real time, and weighing some difficult trade-offs. 40% of fleet operators rated their concern about fuel prices at 10 out of 10.

Fleet businesses are under real pressure, and they’re responding with a mix of operational creativity, careful customer management, and, for some, patience. Time will tell.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) launched the Freedom to Drive initiative: an opportunity for states to collaborate with USDOT on tackling increasing congestion corridors across America.

This national effort aims to save American families both time and money by focusing on maximizing roadway capacities, fast-tracking projects that alleviate congestion chokepoints, and leveraging American technology and private-sector partnerships.

The project is expected to reduce delays by over 19,000 hours each day, or about 15 minutes per traveler, due to less idling and traffic congestion. It will also enhance public safety through various infrastructure improvements.

Drivers are more likely to use their phones while speeding, a tendency that increases crash risk by combining two dangerous behaviors, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

“Until now, safety experts believed drivers used their cellphones most at slower speeds,” said IIHS President David Harkey. “But data from insurance companies’ safe-driving apps show that, in free-flowing traffic, the opposite is true.”

Excluding time spent stopped at intersections, mired in traffic and driving small neighborhood streets, the amount that drivers handled their phones increased the more they exceeded the speed limit, a nationwide analysis of cellphone data showed.

Many modern EVs now offer around 300 miles of range, which is already plenty for many drivers. Since the average American drives about 30 to 35 miles per day, a 300-mile EV could last roughly a week between charges.

Based on data from more than 1 billion miles of real-world driving, a recent report found that EVs retain 97% of their range after 3 years and 95% after 5 years. That means a 300-mile EV would still offer about 291 miles after three years and 285 miles after five years.

That matters because many owners replace their vehicles within about six years, meaning many EVs may still retain most of their original range by the time they are replaced.

Gas is expensive right now, thanks to the US attacking Iran. Some drivers are doing something about their increased costs, and it’s affecting the vehicles they’re renting.

Renting an EV is usually more expensive than renting a gas model, sometimes a lot more. Renters who want an EV are often willing to pay the premium.

Hertz said EV reservation requests increased by 25% in March compared with February. The difference was even higher on the West Coast, where gas prices are much higher than the national average.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, but for fleet managers, distraction isn’t confined to a calendar window. It’s a year-round challenge—and one of the most persistent contributors to crashes, near misses, and rising liability.

Distraction often isn’t intentional—it’s habitual. Quick glances, multitasking under pressure, or overconfidence in one’s ability to “handle it” all play a role. Without addressing the psychology behind distraction, enforcement alone rarely changes behavior.

Mentor by eDriving helps fleets identify distraction trends through behavioral analysis. Rather than labeling drivers as “unsafe,” the platform enables constructive conversations grounded in data—creating opportunities for learning.

When our marketing team sat down to discuss our 2026 campaign, it didn’t take long to focus on what we believe matters most in fleet: The importance of PEOPLE. The power of human CONNECTION. The imperative to keep our PROMISES.

In my opinion, it was a gutsy call—especially given the explosion of technology in fleet, a phenomenon that is no doubt helping usher in the next great age of the industry.

When you work with the right PEOPLE and trust in the power of human CONNECTION, it’s easy to keep your PROMISES.

Small decisions are having a bigger impact on fleet performance than ever before. Merchants Fleet CEO Matt Dyer shares how fleets are responding to cost pressure and constant change with more precise, data-informed decisions.

Your fleet is one of your largest operational investments. Model how changes in utilization, lifecycle timing, and funding strategy can impact cost and cash flow.

For fleets managing both long-term assets and short-term needs, having a single partner across both brings added flexibility, consistency, and simplicity.
