Your private fleet’s name and brand represent more than a service: it defines your team, your company’s values, and your presence and impact throughout the community.
Each and every day, within your team, there are individuals who see opportunities to go above and beyond in their role and duty to serve others – at work and throughout the community. These allies, mentors and leaders are the heart of your fleet; they set a new standard that positively reflects your company’s reputation on and off the road; and they deserve to be recognized by you, their peers, and industry at-large.
