Wheels, Inc. recently hosted more than 225 of its clients at the 2014 Wheels Results+ Fleet Summit and Industry Conference.
The event, which was held in Chicago as part of Wheels’ 75th anniversary celebration, served as a forum for industry professionals to showcase fleet management success stories, network with peers to share ideas and take a look at the future of the marketplace.
The Fleet Summit recognized Wheels clients who achieved notable recent successes in the five optimal fleet disciplines that are measured by Wheels’ proprietary Results+ account management methodology: Integration & Control, Driver Productivity & Satisfaction, Risk Mitigation, Total Cost Management and Fleet Administration & Ease.
It's a very exciting week for us here at Fleet Management Weekly, because our new website has finally launched. We've been telling a few of you all about the new site lately, but – for most of you – we're hoping that it will be a very pleasant surprise.
Although the new site is now live, we're still in the 'soft launch' phase, still working furiously to tweak and perfect. That said, the new site is light years better than the old one – primarily because it's far more dynamic and changeable than what we had before.
For our readers, the new site will mean regular daily updates of the fleet news & trends you need. For our advertisers, the new site means new opportunities for advertising and content marketing. And for us, it means a website that's easy to build and populate with more engaging content.
If you've got any comments on the new FleetManagementWeekly.com, please don't hesitate to share them with me at [email protected].
