Using the new-vehicle VIN decoding feature within Kelley Blue Book's products, customers can quickly obtain all the new-vehicle information they need without having to utilize a third-party provider or other applications, allowing easy access to key KBB values.

Some of today's fleets could use a little more help with material handling equipment, and PHH Arval is there to offer end-to-end asset management - including visibility of inventory, data surrounding inventory, third-party oversight of maintenance services, and much more.
I was so very proud and honored to be named 2014 Affiliate of the Year by the NAFA Fleet Management Association last week in Minneapolis at the 2014 Institute & Expo! Few of us win awards solely because of our own actions and this one is no exception. Had I not been totally surprised and (uncommonly) speechless when my name was announced as a FLEXY winner, I would have had the presence of mind to thank our wonderful and talented video and editorial team at Fleet Management Weekly: Victor Noerdlinger, Ted Roberts, Connie Shedron, Mike Sheldrick, and Molly Acridge.
Congratulations to all of the 2014 FLEXY Award winners announced last Tuesday evening at the Fleet Excellence Awards Gala! It was quite an evening.
Thank you, NAFA!
