The COVID-19 Pandemic and Pool Fleets: What Fleet Managers are Doing to Protect Their Drivers
By Mark Boada, Executive Editor
The COVID-19 pandemic poses a new challenge to fleets, particularly pool fleets, those for which different drivers may be assigned to use the same vehicle day to day or even shift to shift or hour-to-hour.

Last week, Donlen, one of the largest fleet management companies in North America, hosted an hour-long, webcast “think tank” in which company executives, panelists and what a Donlen co-host said was a “packed” virtual audience of fleet professionals shared the measures they are taking to try to keep their shared vehicles virus-free.
