Every new year gives us a chance to level up how we serve the people who keep work trucks moving. As we head into the 2026–2027 calendar cycle, our mission at Work Truck stays simple: We want to bring fleet pros the kind of insight, guidance, and real talk that actually makes their workdays better.

That means staying plugged into what’s happening on the ground. Fleets are juggling everything from rising costs to tech adoption to driver needs, and no two operations look the same. Some challenges cut across the entire industry, but many are totally unique to each vocation, job type, and region.

To stay tuned into those day-to-day realities, we rely on a powerhouse group of fleet leaders who help shape the content you see throughout the year. Our Editorial Advisory Board brings together experienced professionals from across the vocational spectrum, each offering firsthand knowledge, honest feedback, and a pulse on what matters most right now.

Their insight helps us create content that’s useful, practical, and ahead of what’s coming next for work truck fleets.

We’re excited to introduce the members of our 2026–2027 Editorial Advisory Board:
