“The Day I Realized I Was Wrong” For years, I believed fleet management was about trucks. I was wrong. It’s about: ✔ data ✔ people ✔ decisions ✔ consistency Once I shifted from managing breakdowns to managing systems, downtime dropped, costs dropped, and incidents dropped. Your fleet doesn’t fail because of vehicles. It fails because of missing structure. he Day a Breakdown Broke Me There was a day early in my career when 5 trucks were down at the same time. Dispatch was shouting. Drivers were stressed. Customers were waiting. And I felt like I failed. That day taught me something: 👉 A fleet manager is not judged by perfect days. They are judged by crisis days. Today, after 17+ years, 3 continents, and millions in assets managed, I’m grateful for that one chaotic day. It didn’t break me. It built me.
