The list of key roles a ready mixed concrete company’s fleet manager plays in his organization’s success is long.

The fleet manager:

Helps management determine when a truck mixer - or any other piece of equipment - is costing more to maintain than can be justified given its present value.
Decides which maintenance tasks should be outsourced and which should be done in-house.
Insures that the company is getting the best possible value from outsource service providers, including spring and radiator shops, towing and recovery services, and tire services.
Is charged with analyzing and reporting on equipment downtime, fuel, tire and other fleet costs to make sure the company is not wasting money.
Negotiates with vendors to make sure the company is getting the best possible deal on parts, service, etc.
Makes sure the company develops and holds onto quality mechanics.
Is responsible for minimizing the company’s exposure to liability.
A ready mixed concrete-specific training program addressing all of these key elements and more is now available. Send your fleet and operations managers, lead mechanics and fleet purchasing professionals now!
