Fleet managers looking to cut downtime and tighten up their upfitting process have a new learning opportunity coming up this month. Adrian is hosting a free webinar titled "3 Hidden Upfitting Risks and the Playbook for Avoiding Them" on November 20, 2025, at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET.
We ALL know that upfitting is essential for keeping work trucks productive, but the delays that pop up along the way often create headaches and unexpected costs. Many of these risks start long before a vehicle enters the shop, and this session digs into the areas where fleets commonly get tripped up.
Attendees will learn:
Three key upfitting risks that can stall timelines.
Questions to help evaluate current processes.
Nine practical tips pulled from an upfitting playbook.
Ways to reduce downtime and keep vehicles in operation.
The goal is to give fleet managers a clearer look at what causes bottlenecks and how to get ahead of them before schedules are disrupted.
