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.
