Coping with Tariff Pressures
Fleets are significantly impacted by the tariffs implemented by President Trump. Providing insight into this demanding situation is industry expert Ed Pierce. Don’t miss his debut report: Fleet Management Weekly’s Tariff Tracker: How Fleet Managers are Adapting to Tariff Pressures.
We are delighted to welcome Wheels’ client services executive Elizabeth Wills to these pages. We recently talked with Elizabeth about the venerable company’s winning approach to fleet management.
Just this week I had an enlightening conversation with a veteran fleet driver who told me how his company’s extensive safety training impacts his family’s personal driving habits. Intellishift’s Erin Gilchrist echoes that in Drive Down Risk, Lift Up Safety.
Ed Pierce, Ted Roberts, Dave Bean, and I are excited to be attending NAFA 2025 in Long Beach next week. We look forward to seeing you!
