This pandemic has thrown the world for a loop, and the ride is not over. And throughout it all, the vocational truck fleet industry has worked tirelessly, keeping deliveries on schedule and ensuring that necessary services were still being done to help people stay safely home.

Work Truck’s annual accident trends report will likely be an anomaly for years to come. It’s clear that the first few months of the year have been incredibly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. But, it’s not all COVID-related impacts.
To say operating a fleet in 2020 is “challenging” would likely be the biggest understatement of the year. Nothing is the same as it was in 2019. Even if your operations never stopped, there are likely big changes you have had to deal with.

During difficult times, how do you keep your morale up, and uplift the spirits of your drivers, too?
To justify time away from your already busy schedule, events should provide educational value and networking opportunities with people that matter.
The way fleet was run yesterday is not how fleet will be run tomorrow and we have to be open to change.
