In my two decades of leading technology companies and now building ServiceUp, the strongest businesses don’t just run on fuel and spreadsheets, they run on trust. For fleet managers that means trust with repair shops, parts suppliers, insurers, drivers, OEMs, and everyone else in the ecosystem.
Work Truck Solutions announced the successful completion of the initial phase of a program aimed at making the commercial vehicle bailment pool process more efficient and transparent.
At Ranger Design, we know that fleets need more than just shelves and roof racks. You need an upfitting partner who helps keep your business moving forward. That's why we go beyond the product to deliver responsive support when you need it most.
Most fleets have a big opportunity to use breakdown data to improve preventive maintenance, which can save time and money.
We in fleet are a collegial group, and it is never more on display than at our annual forums. Fleet marketer Tod Trousdell adroitly captures the essence of the recently concluded AFLA conclave in his delightful article 2025 AFLA Conference Sets Attendance Record While Celebrating an Industry in Flux.
“There’s no doubt that fleet is a business,” said Steve Bender, who led AFLA as president two years ago. “But the real beauty of this industry is that the members are like family so no matter what technology brings to the table or what advancements AI delivers, what really matters is the human connection.”
And speaking of the human connection, if you are attending the NETS 2025 Strength IN Numbers conference in Minneapolis next week, be sure to say hello to Fleet Management Weekly's president, Ted Roberts. We are keenly interested in featuring news from fleet managers and fleet service providers who are laser-focused on fleet safety.
