Frequently Asked Questions

What types of trucks are available for fleet solutions?

Numerous types of trucks are utilized for fleet solutions. Additionally, it is not only trucks that constitute a fleet vehicle. Fleets can be comprised of cars, vans, and buses. When customizing a fleet, the vehicles utilized will be determined by the company or organization’s specific needs. 

For example, if a company is looking to transport temperature-sensitive goods, refrigerated trucks will be the ideal solution. Conversely, if a government agency is looking to shuttle people, a fleet of buses might be a good fit.

When building out a fleet, the key is to ensure that whatever truck or vehicle is utilized is designed by a trusted manufacturer. Due to the nature of use for fleet vehicles, longevity and reliability is a key focal point. Most companies that customize fleet solutions will offer a variety of trusted brands to choose from.

How many vehicles are considered a fleet?

The number of vehicles in any given fleet will vary depending on the business or organization utilizing them. In general, most fleets contain at least two or more vehicles. These vehicles might be owned or leased by one organization.

Fleet vehicles are common to a variety of business types, government agencies, and other organizations. The key distinguisher between a vehicle and a fleet vehicle is that the ownership belongs to a business or organization, rather than an individual. 

In some cases, a company might own a small fleet of vehicles for localized use. A good example of this would be a taxi fleet. In other situations, a national organization might own hundreds of fleet vehicles, spanning across the country. For example, a transportation company might own hundreds of dry freight trucks responsible for moving goods across the nation. 

What is a fleet plan?

A fleet plan, often referred to as a fleet management plan, is a method for ensuring that a business’ fleet of vehicles remains a cost-effective component of the business. Fleet plans involve a lot of careful documentation around every vehicle within the fleet, as well as keeping track of any costs associated with the upkeep of vehicles. Most plans will include the following components:

  • Analysis of the profits gained from fleet vehicles, both on an individual level and as a whole
  • Breakdown of costs associated with the current methodology for fleet purchases
  • A forecast of future maintenance needs
  • A strategy for cycling out old vehicles
  • An established metric for measuring future return on investment

The goal of a fleet plan is to ensure that the right fleet investments are being made.

When should a business consider fleet solutions (as opposed to single purchases)?

In some cases, a business that utilizes company vehicles may simply purchase these units as single transactions. However, for many businesses, it is better to consider a fleet solution instead. 

Fleet solutions make the most sense for companies that need any of the following:

  • Customization: When it comes to custom builds, fleet solutions are the way to go. This will allow you to create the ideal vehicles for your business’s needs. From custom refrigeration options to specific equipment builds, a fleet solution allows for optimal customization. 
  • Consistency: Purchasing vehicles one at a time does not work well where consistency is key. If your business needs each vehicle within your fleet to operate exactly the same way with the same layout, a custom fleet solution is the right answer.
  • Bulk numbers: When your business is looking to purchase a large number of vehicles at once, fleet solutions offer the greatest savings.

What are the benefits of having a fleet of trucks?

Having a fleet of trucks offers businesses and organizations an array of benefits. First, a fleet can be custom-built for the specific needs of the job at hand. For example, if an HVAC business needs to send out technicians to job sites, having a complete fleet of trucks that each contain the exact same layout ensures consistency for employees day-to-day. Additionally, having those vehicles wrapped with company logos allows for brand recognition.

Next, a fleet of trucks ensures that a business is equipped to handle extremely specific work. For example, a construction company might outfit their fleet with everything from a dump truck to a cement mixer. 

Finally, a fleet of trucks provides companies with the opportunity for ongoing growth. As needed, additional vehicles can be added to the fleet over the course of a business’s expansion.
