A Missing Forklift, A Police Chase, And One Big Question
For any fleet owner, keeping track of your vehicles is a given. Knowing who’s driving which vehicle, what route they’re on, when they need servicing and when they’re due for replacement is all pretty essential.

Fleets Warned Over Driving Licence Checks
Fleets are being urged to check their licence checking processes as a study finds that many grey fleet drivers aren’t being processed correctly. It’s important to note that the study was specifically talking about employees who drive a privately owned or cash allowance car for business, but the figures were concerning, nonetheless.

Some things go together seamlessly – fish and chips, Ant and Dec, pumpkins and Halloween. But others are a less conventional marriage.
