You know from small to large it is
important to manage your fleet of
vehicles. It does not matter if it is one
vehicle or 100+ the key to a proper return
on investment(ROI) is management. What
does it mean to mange? It means several
things depending on the fleet size and
types of vehicles used. I mean your going
to treat bikes and scooters a lot differently
than you would your cars, vans and trucks.
For this we will concentrate on cars,
vans and trucks. Whether you have one or
many drivers and vehicles you need to
make sure your people understand the
importance of the vehicles to there jobs
and the costs wrapped around operating
them. Don’t be afraid to make your drivers
responsible for keeping a clean truck with
the understanding that they will be held
accountable for tickets that could be
avoided and damages to the vehicles inside
and out. Make sure each vehicle has it’s
own gas card if the vehicles are in use over
a wide area and need refueling at times on
the road. If not establish a refueling station
for the vehicles and watch the billing track
the amount of gas used versus miles
driven. This will help with service intervals
and prevent gas the in to private cars or
worse vehicle being used for side work as
well with your business footing the bill for
transportation of tools and equipment.
There are many programs for free that
can be used to help with this and a lot of
vehicles Like Fords come with a sync
system that monitors vehicle health and
location for you as well. Mapping out
routes or jobs the day before for the next
day for your people as well to help try and
maximize efficiency and reduce wear and
tear on the most valuable tool your
vehicles. Small measures like this alone for
a small to mid-sized fleet could save them
a fortune if set up properly and
maintained. Reward the guys who are
consistently operating the vehicle at a
most pro profitable level and give
instruction to the guys who are not and if
they refuse to come around decide on
making changes to the crew sometimes it
has to be.
If you would like some help with setup
or more ways to do fleet management,
Ford Lincoln of Queens Commercial
Vehicle Center has people that can help
create and manage that for you. You may
not have Ford vehicles but If we are willing
to show you cost savings now maybe in the
future Ford will become your brand of
choice as you up grade.
