Here’s what’s moving in the fleet world this week, all in 60 seconds or less. Join Lauren Fletcher for a fresh Truck Chat Quick Hit, covering the need-to-know updates for fleet managers and industry pros.
First up — what exactly is a walk-in van? These box-style vehicles, also known as step vans, are built for quick entry and exit, and they’re proving to be real MVPs for delivery, mobile service, and trade fleets.
Next — let’s talk mobility. The right upfit can make all the difference for drivers with physical challenges. From lifts to reconfigured seating, we’re spotlighting how inclusive builds are reshaping fleets.
Now, summer’s heating up — and your fleet’s feeling it. We break down how smart tech and a little cab prep can help your drivers beat the heat and stay on the road.
