Work Fleet Forum Hosts Successful Event for Fleet Managers, Service Providers
By Tod Trousdell
Ever hear the one about what happens when you take 50 fleet managers and 50 fleet services providers and sequester them in a luxury surroundings for three days?
Well, if last week’s Work Truck Forum is any indication, several days of information-sharing, camaraderie and just plain fun!
First held in 2011, the Work Fleet Forum is the brainchild of Scott Goldman, an event specialist who got his start in the conference industry as a printing executive who dropped by a trade show to see where all the literature he was churning out ended up.
Enamored, he went on to work in the conference world for years before realizing there might be a better way of conducting trade shows.
Fleet Operators Want Teslas. But Not ‘full self-driving’
Police departments are among the fleet operators that are increasingly turning to electric vehicles for the economic and environmental benefits.
But for all their Tesla enthusiasm, there's one feature they overwhelmingly aren't touching — "full self-driving."
Fleet operators want safer driving and more productive vehicles, according to Westport, Connecticut police chief Foti Koskinas.

Automakers With the Highest Customer Satisfaction Rankings
The American Customer Satisfaction Index reports that overall satisfaction scores for automakers stayed constant between 2020 and 2021. That's good news, but a look at the past five years suggests that customer satisfaction in new vehicles isn't as high as it once was. Back in 2017, the average score was 82 on a 100-point scale; for 2021 the average sits at 78.
With an overall score of 82 (up 4% over last year), Honda leads all automakers regardless of what segment they compete in. Subaru, BMW (up 4%) and Lexus (down 1%) all tied with a score of 81, followed by Ram (which had the highest score last year), Audi and Tesla at 80.
The lowest score of all came from the Chrysler brand all the way down at 70 (down 4%) and just below Mitsubishi's score of 71 (down a disastrous 8% compared to last year). On the luxury front, Infiniti's score of 75 is just below the 76s of Acura and Lincoln.
