If you’ve got one minute, you’ve got what you need to kick off 2026 with the fleet stories that actually matter. Let’s hit the headlines that connect where work trucks came from, what defined 2025, and what fleets are watching right now.
This week, we’re rolling through the news in 60 seconds or less:
Welcome to 2026. We’re starting the year with a look back at how 250 years of American progress shaped the work trucks we rely on today, and why real work has always driven design.
Medium-duty had a big year. We round up the Top 10 medium-duty news stories of 2025, highlighting how EV and ICE both moved forward and gave fleets more real-world options.
Tires are having a moment. We break down the state of the commercial truck tire industry in 2025 and why tire strategy is quietly becoming an uptime and cost-control decision for fleets.
And a heartfelt tribute. We’re honoring fleet industry icon Mike Antich. If he impacted your career, tributes are being accepted through Friday, the 9th. Check the story for a link or email your video tribute to Lauren.Fletcher@bobit.com.
