Fleet Management

The job of managing a fleet of trucks is an increasingly professional occupation. This requires thorough knowledge of vehicle fleet operations, transport and employment law and finance and cost control.

Large Goods Vehicle Fleet

The vehicle fleet manager could be involved in managing a large single type fleet such as tractor units, tractor units and trailers or a combination of vehicle types that could involve large goods vehicles, vans and cars. Operations means the day to day management of the transport organisation. This includes the assets of the business, its employees and its finances.The systems employed in day to day operations are increasingly sophisticated, utilising inhouse and internet based  computer systems. An example of this includes the latest vehicle tracking systems. These track vehicles and drivers on a real-time basis. Tracking location, speed and journey duration. The larger the fleet, the more sophisticated the tracking system.
