Welcome
I
If you’re involved in fleet, I wouldn’t mind betting that you have a growing
stack of fleet publications on the end of your desk. You know they’re
packed full of useful information. You’ll get around to them sometime.
But how many of them are still in the plastic? And have last year’s date
on them?
We’re all inundated with material claiming to reveal all we need to know about doing our
jobs. But often what’s missing is the real-life story, the truth behind the jargon; the ‘nitty
gritty’ of day to day fleet management and how to make it work out there in the real world.
Fleet managers come in many guises. From the highly trained, qualified professional right
through to that unfortunate new office administrator who’s been given the fleet as part of
their job, simply because it didn’t fit anywhere else. We talk to hundreds of both, and
everyone in between.
Whatever your level of fleet expertise, we know your challenges and we feel your pain.
And we’ve created Fleet Insight because of you. Fleet Insight does reveal what you really
need to know; we’ve dispensed with the non-facts and gone straight for the heart of the
subject, and everything in these pages is aimed at making your life in fleet easier.
2016 marks FleetCheck’s tenth birthday. And we’ve lived, slept and breathed fleet for far
longer than that. Fleet Insight helps us to impart that real-life, real-world expertise, and
speak directly to those who spend their days navigating the challenging, ever-changing
journey we all know as fleet management.
Don’t add this one to that pile on your desk.
Read it. Enjoy it. I think you’ll be glad you did.
