Authors Abstract
Content
SINCE there are nearly 22,000 fleets of trucks, comprising a total of 1,260,000 vehicles, operating in the nation, this author presents a review of management factors that should have wide appeal. Within the scope of fleet management he considers reduction of capital expenditure and operating expenses, and facilitation of executive supervision.
Equipment selection and retirement, maintenance, and vehicle operating techniques are among the topics discussed. He emphasizes the need for better understanding and cooperation between the fleet owner and the truck manufacturer, thus correlating actual field service with design and production engineering problems.
