He began his career in the automotive industry by owning a mechanic shop. Miller later also worked as an insurance adjuster, and then later joined the fleet industry, with a brief stint at CEI, before founding Corporate Collision, Inc. Before working in the fleet industry, he also worked in the New York City court system.
Miller was a committed presence to NAFA's chapters, and regularly took part in planning and development for the previously separate New York and InterCounty Chapters, as well as the New Jersey Chapter. He received NAFA's Outstanding Chapter Service Award (Affiliate) in 2001.
"Earl was a dear friend to many, however, (he was) part of the extended Martines family. I am stunned and at a loss for words to describe what he meant to us personally and then the fleet industry,” said Robert Martines, chairman of Corporate Claims Management.
Miller was a lifelong New York Yankees fan. In recent years, he started to take up boating. His final request, according to Martines, was that his ashes be split up so that they could be sprinkled both into the Pacific Ocean and dropped onto the field of Yankee Stadium.
He is survived by his wife, Susan, as well as his two sons, a step daughter, and grandchildren.
Fleet drivers face constant visual, cognitive, and environmental interruptions the moment they hit the road. From roadside chaos to mental fatigue and digital overload, today’s biggest driving risks often come from outside the vehicle itself.

From identity management to third-party certifications, the right technology partner should make security easier to manage. Here are the three building blocks that fleet managers need to stay in control as connected systems scale.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
