In a conversation with Chris Brown of Automotive Fleet, Bob Adamski, fleet manager at AWP Safety, shares how his 5,500-vehicle fleet is navigating renewed fuel volatility. With more than 30 years in the fleet industry, Adamski has a message for fleets: “Don’t panic.”
Adamski encourages fleets to use rising fuel costs as a catalyst to more easily justify initiatives such as idle reduction, route optimization, and tighter controls on vehicle use.
In this conversation:
Why fuel is one of the most volatile fleet costs
How price spikes can drive efficiency initiatives
How telematics and fuel cards improve control and accuracy
Where routing and vehicle use impact fuel spend
