Expectations are that the next five years will look just like the past five years due to numerous factors, including low housing starts, high unemployment, tradesperson shortages, credit and bonding capacity crunches, Euro-Zone uncertainty and continued globalization.

The Fleet Management Symposium, which includes two helpful CDs, is designed to help attendees through this risky period in their organizations’ histories and in their career paths.

Designed for all fleet management professionals regardless of industry, the Symposium focuses on best practices and strategies that dramatically impact your fleet, shop, parts, fuel and technology functions’ financial, operational and productivity performances. Whether you operate 10 or 10,000 units, this day and-a-half intensive program will help you discover how to:

• Reduce capital and operating budgets by 25% in 12 months!
• Apply 20 benchmarks with more than 100 performance measures.
• Implement fleet rental chargeback systems.
• Apply 50 asset funding options to gain usage of vehicles and equipment.
• Implement The New Fuel Management Model.
