Work Truck is continuing its latest monthly video interview series, Shades of Fleet, highlighting the people who keep the fleet industry moving every day.
April’s theme, The Technicians’ Table, shines a light on the essential work of technicians and maintenance professionals: the heartbeat of fleet. From the shop floor to field service, these are the people solving problems in real time, keeping vehicles road-ready, and holding operations together behind the scenes.
This month is about what the job really looks like. The pace, pressure, and pride in the work. The problem-solving that doesn’t always get seen. It’s also about career paths, respect for the role, evolving technology, and what it takes to build and keep a strong technician workforce.
Participate in April Shades of Fleet (The Technicians Table) Today!
Participants will record a short video interview using guided prompts and a simple recording link. No special setup required. Can't access the link? Email Lauren Fletcher.
