In conclusion

While costs and market forces will lead to fluctuations in vehicle costs, fuel costs, and overall revenue, there will always be a need for fleets to keep our business running. Whether that’s long-haul truckers shipping goods from one coast to another, last-mile delivery trucks dropping off mail, or HVAC service vans conducting repairs across the city; fleet vehicles will remain mission-critical components of a business or industry.

Responsible business owners will invest whatever they can to ensure that these fleet vehicles are kept in peak condition, well-fueled, and driven by trained and responsible employees.
