What gave fleet professionals confidence this month? In the latest Work Truck Monthly Recap, we look at the people, preparation, leadership, and technology helping fleets stay ready before something goes wrong.

This month’s biggest conversations covered the expanding role of fleet technicians, workplace violence prevention, collision response, telematics-driven risk management, DOT marijuana rules, mixed-energy fleet strategy, cargo theft, active braking technology, and the leadership lessons that help strong fleet teams succeed.
