When it comes to improving fleet operations, no matter the immediate issue at hand, technology, in all its forms, is becoming the “go-to” tool.
Featuring a logo that stands out among competitors, this heating and cooling company’s fleet vehicle wraps help promote the brand and drive business — by getting a lot of attention on the road.
From hail to carelessness to simple scratches and dents to completely totaled vehicles, damage during vehicle transit does happen and can cost a company time and money. Can anything be done?
At-risk executive drivers need to be held accountable for their poor driving records in the same way as rank-and-file employees. Fleet managers need to use a slightly different approach to help them become safer drivers.

The carsharing market has grown from a largely subsidized, university research-driven experiment into a full-fledged for-profit enterprise, owned primarily by traditional car rental companies and auto manufacturers.
By finding a specific niche in their respective markets, these independent carsharing companies are surviving against the big guys in the expanding carsharing market.

If there's ever been a quintessential work truck in the history of commercial vehicles, it's probably the milk truck. As these trucks from the 1950s show, the milk truck was also a relatively sophisticated vehicle for its time.
Doing CY-2014, passenger car CPM maintenance costs were up 13 percent as the average age of units in operation increased due to fewer companies engaging in vehicle shortcycling and recalls caused a double-digit spike in rental costs.
The decrease in vehicle shortcycling by commercial fleets has resulted in more vehicles in operation with higher mileages, which necessitate a second or third set of replacement tires during the course of a vehicle's service life.
Fleets continue to see OEM "recommended" and "required" scheduled service intervals extended, such as fluid changes, spark plugs, transmission services, and timing belts, which help keep preventive maintenance costs flat.
