Safe Driving for National Safety Month (and Always)
June is National Safety Month, and here’s some good advice for keeping fleet owners, managers and drivers safe in these dangerous times.
Wholesale Used-Vehicle Prices Decrease in First Half of June
The average price for rental risk units sold at auction in the first 15 days of June was down 15.2% year over year. Rental risk prices also declined by 5.7% compared to the full month of May. Average mileage for rental risk units in the first half of June (at 49,900 miles) was down 12% compared to a year ago and fell by 11.6% against May 2024.
“May ended with stronger than normal price declines in the last few weeks, and that’s continued into early June,” said Jeremy Robb, senior director of Economic and Insights at Cox Automotive. “We are still seeing higher sales conversion levels with days’ supply down as sales have continued to run above last year’s levels.”
Problem Solving Pros
When we interviewed Rush Akin, Chief Revenue Officer at Roadflex, we were eager to hear about the company’s AI approach to fuel risk management. Akin says, “By spotting anomalies in fuel expenditures, our platform allows fleets to catch fuel card misuse as it happens.”
EV charging infrastructure continues to be a challenge for many fleets, and EV Realty’s mission is to find solutions. We talked with Jim Ludovico, Chief Customer Officer, to learn about their “EV charging hubs” and how they tackle the problem head-on. It’s an interesting and effective solution.
We are delighted by our readers’ enthusiasm for our Fleet Pro Focus columns! This week, we feature Karyna Zarate who adroitly manages a fleet of 1500 vehicles for Inframark and serves as Vice President of AFLA.
Meet Karyna, and other leaders in the fleet community at the AFLA Corporate Fleet Conference – September 15-18 -- San Antonio. Excellent speakers and educational sessions and the best networking ever!

To qualify for the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, vehicles need good ratings in the small overlap front and updated side tests and an acceptable or good rating in the updated moderate overlap front test, which now emphasizes back seat safety.
