SAFETY, US ECONOMY TOP OF MIND. With the end of the year fast approaching our Q4 Fleet Manager Sentiment Index shows that while top fleet managers feel much the same about our basket of 7 key indicators, conversations with them are starting to expose some divergence in their thinking and concerns about some of the potentially more critical categories like safety and the US economy, with one of our customer advisors saying the economy “felt like 2008 all over” as tariffs and a long few years of high interest rates have stifled growth. Fleet managers also continue to be negative on talent availability – especially when it comes to drivers – as well as expressing concerns about vehicle service and maintenance, citing rising costs and increased repair times as especially concerning. *On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being most confident. Mouse over any quarter to see its specific chart.

TeamFLD attended one of fleet’s biggest events of the year, and of course our colleague FLD Frank was there to glean all the news and insights to share with our clients, partners and friends in fleet!
Fleet has been going through a marked period of disruption, but at FLD, our CR team is helping client’s navigate the pitfalls of disruption to sell used assets for top dollar.
