We accept article pitches in place of the full article. However, final acceptance depends on editorial review of the completed article.
If your submission seems like a good fit, a Work Truck editor will typically contact you within three weeks. Please flag any pressing timing requirements in your submission.

Work Truck serves fleet professionals who manage light- and medium-duty commercial trucks, vans, and the equipment that helps crews get the job done. Content recommendations should address the needs of these readers. Please review Work Truck’s website to become familiar with our coverage and audience before submitting.
Our readers want practical tips and tactics to select and upfit vehicles, improve safety, manage maintenance, support drivers and technicians, evaluate technology, control costs, and strengthen their leadership skills. Articles and columns should connect expertise to the daily realities of running a work truck fleet. Give readers information they can apply to their operations, adapt for their teams, or use to make better decisions. Thought-provoking perspectives are welcome when they offer a clear takeaway for fleet professionals.
Keep the focus on the work. Explain how your topic affects the vehicles, equipment, people, or decisions that keep fleet operations moving. Specific examples, practical steps, and lessons learned help readers connect your expertise to their own challenges.
We accept pitches year-round. General submissions do not have a set deadline, but special projects, guides, and timely coverage may have specific due dates, including those listed above. An editor can work with you to establish a deadline for an assigned article.
Articles and columns are accepted or rejected at the sole discretion of Work Truck’s editorial team. If your article is accepted, you must sign a contributor’s agreement.
