Winter is a rough time of year for vehicles and, therefore, for commercial fleets. Intense cold is not kind to engines, tires, or drivers, for that matter. Ice on the roads poses an additional danger, while freezing temperatures inside the vehicle systems can gum up the works in all sorts of unwanted ways.

Commercial trucks play an integral role in many industries by enabling the quick and efficient transportation of goods and services. Of course, one of the realities of managing a commercial fleet is that your transportation demands may vary throughout the year, and you may find yourself needing to rent a few commercial trucks due to increased demands or a project that requires larger vehicles than what exists in your current fleet.

When running a security company, home service, or electrical contracting business, you need an efficient fleet of vehicles. From a business perspective, leasing these automobiles makes more financial sense than buying and managing an entire fleet.

Fleet management has always been a data game. Every route, tank of gas, and maintenance schedule relies on accurate data to optimize your fleet management solutions. A big part of this is accurate odometer readings, both lifetime distances and intervals between temporary resets. Odometers allow you to measure how far a vehicle has driven over a set period of time by taking readings at recorded intervals.
