Today’s work truck fleets face a nonstop lineup of unpredictable events, including wildfires, flash floods, hailstorms, and even network outages. Fleet managers can’t wait until something happens to figure out how to respond.
That’s why the Disaster Preparation & Response Guide was developed: to provide light- and medium-duty fleet leaders with a real-world resource that helps them prepare, respond, and recover when disaster strikes.
The guide includes step-by-step tips on staging vehicles, setting up communication backups, prepping EVs and chargers, and streamlining insurance claims. It also covers training and safety protocols that empower your team to act quickly and with confidence.
“This guide is built for the real-world grit of vocational fleet operations,” said Lauren Fletcher, VP of Content at Bobit Business Media and Work Truck magazine. “Work truck professionals are the ones who show up when it matters most. This guide helps them stay calm, stay moving, and stay in control, especially when the unexpected happens.”
What’s inside:
Four-step emergency planning model for day-to-day fleet continuity
Comprehensive strategies for managing fuel resources, preparing electric vehicles, and relocating assets in anticipation of severe weather events
Tips on using video tools for driver coaching and post-event claim validation
Insights on protecting physical assets and staying connected
And more!
