It does not matter the size of your fleet of vehicles you might have, – from 50 to 500 – someone in your business needs to manage that fleet. This person can be an “administrative assistant” who is only managing this fleet part-time or a full-time fleet manager who is a professional with several people on staff.

Needing help 

No matter the title or the amount of time spend on fleet management; particular questions need to be answered for that fleet to be valuable for your business. These include:

• Handling of vehicle acquisition and disposal
• Suitability and selection
• Title and licensing
• Storage of records
• Maintenance
• Fueling

This list of questions can go on. This is when a fleet consultant is needed. 

Help from consultant

The experience and knowledge of a fleet consultant can be of great value from small to mid-sized businesses where no one in the company has the time or even the knowledge to properly manage the fleet. A fleet consultant’s help can be important in forming a strategy for management that addresses the unique needs of your vehicle fleet in an effective and efficient manner. And even if your fleet has a professional in charge, the fresh standpoint of an outside fleet consultant can be quite helpful to your organization. Or there might be a situation or special project which could need some extra help. 

Large company

For an exceptionally large company with many types of vehicles in their fleet, it is most important to have a full-time fleet consultant to work for your company and manage this large fleet. It is certain that a company the size of Amazon has a full-time fleet consultant managing their fleet of vans or other vehicles as well as their current project of drone delivery.
