The fleet manager's job, in one sentence
Keep the right vehicles available, safe and affordable — and be able to prove it. Every task you do rolls up to one of those four words: available, safe, affordable, provable.
The daily rhythm
- Start with exceptions. Review overdue preventive maintenance, failed inspections and open work orders first.
- Clear blockers. Approve repairs, order parts, and unstick anything waiting on you.
- Watch the money. Keep an eye on fuel and cost anomalies before they compound.
The numbers that prove your value
Track cost per kilometre, uptime, and the ratio of planned to reactive maintenance. When leadership asks "is the fleet under control?", these answer it. See essential fleet metrics for the full list, and grab the free templates and calculators.
The systems that make it repeatable
