FAQ

A fleet is grouping of vehicles, often centered around a single discipline, that are owned and managed by a single business, non-profit, or government organization. By doing this, the fleet owner can standardize their vehicles and services across all employees, rather than reimbursing employees for the use of their own vehicle.

A fleet vehicle is a car, truck, or other automobile that is, or was, part of a group of vehicles owned by a business. All fleet vehicles are business vehicles, but not all business vehicles are fleet vehicles. 

Step one: Evaluate your vehicle needs and your budget.

Step two: Decide on your set of vehicles and any upfitting that they might require.

Step three: Choose between purchasing your fleet outright or leasing.

Step four: Work with a fleet sales manager or dealer to suit the entire process to your needs.

Fleet management is the process in which a business or fleet manager uses a mix of planning, technology, and communication to help ensure efficiency and productivity to help the business run as smoothly as possible.

Operations: Fleet management can help make your operations more efficient through optimizing the tracking of fuel usage, mileage, working hours, reporting, and other variables.

Vehicle tracking: Keeping track of fleet vehicles is important when it comes to maintenance, safety, losses, and driving habits. With proper fleet management, you can help keep your vehicles up to standard by ensuring that their maintenance reflects their usage and wear and tear.

Workforce: Your workforce is just as important as your vehicles when it comes to your business success––if not more so. Proper fleet management can help improve the performance of your employees and your relationship with them by keeping efficient communication.

A fleet manager is an individual in charge of managing the vehicles and the personnel that utilize the vehicles of a company.

Though a fleet manager can help in many circumstances, small businesses do not necessarily need one. That being said, if you are a small business that is increasing your number of vehicles on the road, it may be helpful to get ahead of the game and look into getting a fleet manager beforehand, or developing one from your current ranks.

Though their ultimate job is to help keep track of all fleet aspects and provide cost saving options while helping keep productivity, there are many key responsibilities that make up how they do this.

• Safety programming
• Fuel management
• Track fleet metrics
• Vehicle and employee legal compliance management
• Vehicle negotiating, acquisition, and maintenance
• Manage vehicle security
• Analyze data and provide efficient solutions for cost reduction initiatives.
