Quick gut check… are fleets actually being heard, or just talked at?
Fleets are stepping into a bigger role across the industry, and not just showing up, but shaping real decisions. From spec’ing vehicles to influencing policy and guiding tech adoption, the people closest to the work are driving smarter outcomes. When fleets speak up, it’s not noise. It’s progress.
Meanwhile, TPMS is doing more than most fleets give it credit for. Behind the scenes, it’s helping prevent blowouts, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce unplanned downtime. Not flashy, but quietly delivering where it counts.
There’s also a shift out of California worth watching. Certain Ford F-550 and F-600 diesel chassis cabs are no longer subject to previous restrictions, opening up new flexibility in one of the toughest regulatory markets. For fleets operating there, this could expand options in a meaningful way.
And one story that keeps making the rounds for a reason… what’s actually happening at your wheels at 60 mph? The science behind it isn’t as simple as it seems, and it’s worth a closer look if you haven’t checked it out yet.
