This esteemed group of fleet managers collectively oversees fleets with well over 200,000 vehicles in operation and hail from some of most progressive fleets in the nation, according to the company.
Participating supplier companies represent all sectors of the industry — from telematics, cargo management, drug and alcohol screening, truck and van leasing, fleet technology, OEMs, oil filters, protective coatings, equipment, electrification systems and more.
The agenda includes ample networking meals and receptions, group presentations by suppliers, one-on-one meetings between fleet managers and suppliers, education and roundtables, where participants will discuss relevant topics such as their fleets biggest challenges, how they have utilized telematics successfully and balancing improving driver safety and productivity and more.
Work Truck eXchange will take place again in 2017 from Nov. 6 to 8 at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix.
