1. POLICY
![Page 6: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Policy is generally the foundation for everything you
do to manage or change your fleet
• Good policy is like having a money tree
• Have cradle-to-grave, comprehensive fleet policy
• Use a “steering organization” to set, manage, and
recommend policy
• Use a process for keeping policy current
– One innovative fleet updates one fleet policy
section per month!

HAVE COMPREHENSIVE FLEET POLICY

It’s a lot easier to be proactive… than reactive
![Page 10: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HAVE COMPREHENSIVE FLEET POLICY

Good examples of policies:
1. Government: Iowa DAS Fleet Policies and Procedureshttps://das.iowa.gov/sites/default/files/fleet/pdf/DASFleetPNPmanual.pdf
2. Higher Education: Yale Universityhttps://your.yale.edu/policies-procedures/policies/1705-university-fleet-policy

COMMUNICATE
& ENFORCE POLICY
![Page 12: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Policy has limited value if it’s not shared and enforced
• Communicate!
– E.g. FMIS interfaces, Emails, in-vehicle docs, posted metrics
• Ensure all drivers acknowledge fleet policy
– Before driving, Every time policy changes
• Enforce policy - automatically
– Policy enforcement is often the first thing dropped when
things get busy
• Clearly define related roles and processes
COMMUNICATE & ENFORCE POLICY

COMMUNICATE & ENFORCE POLICY
2
Automate the communication and enforcement of policy
Require that drivers
acknowledge new or
changed fleet policies
![Page 14: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

3. FMIS
![Page 16: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• You need a fleet management system!
• In 2019, many large fleets are still using:
– Excel
– Outlook
– Mainframe asset management systems
• FMIS should be accessible to all fleet stakeholders
• Own your fleet data
• Understand and take advantage of fleet data
• Make sure data can be shared across other
enterprise systems
FLEET MGT INFORMATION SYSTEM

FLEET MGT INFORMATION SYSTEM

Vehicles used
You have too many vehicles!

4. SHARE VEHICLES
![Page 19: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Pooling vehicles is one of the most effective means of
increasing utilization of fleet vehicles
• Sharing provides for:
– Vehicles on demand (pay as you go)
– Access to more vehicles
– Access to more types of vehicles
• Cost savings generally exceed $4,000 annually per
vehicle for every vehicle eliminated via sharing
• Obstacles of the past have been eliminated
– Manual processes, Limited hours, Etc.
SHARE VEHICLES

5. MANAGE POV
![Page 23: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Be smart about personal mileage reimbursement
• Use of personally owned vehicles (POV) is a “triple” hit to your
bottom-line
– You reimburse the driver out of your funds
– You may be exposed from a liability or image perspective
– Your vehicles sit idle, i.e., carry extra inventory
• POV reimbursement is very often “out of sight, out of mind”… it
should be a fleet-related expense
• Your policy should clearly direct drivers to the
“best” vehicle for a job
• Vehicle sharing is a strong alternative to POV

6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
![Page 25: 15 - MINUTE Q&A TOP 10 BEST PRACTICES · 2019. 6. 6. · YOUR BEST PRACTICES MAY VARY Education 15% Federal Govt 31% Local Govt 23% Commercial 23% Non-Profit 8% Today's Attendees](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a43adde19c073a1615be0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Well-maintained vehicles cost less to operate
• There is liability in not maintaining your fleet
• Obstacles of the past have been eliminated
– Manual processes
– Spreadsheets & whiteboards
– Etc.
• Your FMIS should give you a clear picture of your
break-even point for vehicle replacement, i.e.,
versus continued repairs and preventive
maintenance

• If you can only capture 1 piece of information, capture
odometer data!
• Odometer (and other utilization metrics) data drives
maintenance, billing, replacement, and other activities
• If you charge back… always consider time AND
odometer
• Use all sources available… preferably automated:
– GPS/telematics, fuel systems, Work Orders, on-line
reporting, motor pools, etc.
• Avoid humans!
GET ODOMETER DATA!

Really?
GET ODOMETER DATA!
7Use ANY metric to track utilization… even if it’s only odometer.

• Understanding the money behind your fleet is key to
managing a healthy fleet
• Understand the numbers that your management team
is most interested in
• Know your organization’s cash position (buy versus
lease, CAPEX vs OPEX, vendor relationships, etc.)
• Understand Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for all
vehicles in the fleet
• Develop budgets and track against them regularly
• Have a vehicle replacement plan
KNOW THE MONEY – KNOW THE FLEET
