Your work truck fleet needs to be licensed, titled, and registered. Do you know what mistakes to avoid?
Where are the trucks? Are things improving and is there an end in sight?
Seven new fire trucks arrived July 16, and will replace an aging fleet that has been used for many years.
Everything fleet does revolves around money: asset acquisition, fuel to operate assets, maintenance to keep assets operational, and myriad other miscellaneous, incidental expenses ranging from tolls, parking tickets, and waste disposal fees to taxes.
Fleets are being impacted by a variety of inflationary pressures ranging from higher acquisition prices due to the proliferation of onboard safety equipment, to increased material costs pushing up pricing on parts, upfits, and replacement tires.
As vehicle technology continues to advance, experts suggest you build the truck that specifically benefits your organization, and revise those specs to keep up with the industry.
Vehicle acquisition is a major component of truck fleet management. Work Truck magazine is looking for fleet manager input regarding vocational truck fleet acquisition to help dig deeper into current purchasing trends.
One of the easiest ways a fleet manager can reduce truck acquisition costs is not over-spec’ing for fleet needs. But, there are a few out-of-the-box ways of thinking to further reduce costs.
Fleet cost-reduction programs typically focus on the asset; however, there’s a limit to how much a fleet manager can modify truck specs without impacting the fleet mission. True cost savings are to be found in areas beyond the asset.
Determining the acquisition strategy that works best for individual company fleets is a daunting process. Industry experts pose and answer questions to help fleet managers make this important decision.
