CHEVY RESPONDED - Silverado HD ZR2 BISON & Colorado Vs Johnson Valley


The ALL NEW Silverado 2500 HD ZR2 "BISON" & 2024 Colorado ZR2 BISON take on Johnson Valley in the hands of an idiot (me). 

Chevrolet invited us out to try, firsthand, the all-new ZR2 BISON edition trucks on some of the craziest trails in the US. I would have never expected the Colorado to do what it did...

The fact that these trucks are factory-built off-roaders that come with a warranty is CRAZY... now, just need the LT4 in that Colorado, and I can die happy.

Fleet Safety: Breaking 7 Commonly Held Concepts


The State of the Fleet Industry video series, produced by Automotive Fleet, offers insights into the state of the fleet market. 

In Episode 142, Associate Publisher Chris Brown interviews Brian Fielkow, an executive leader, author, and speaker who has spent three decades in fleet and transportation with a direct focus on safety. Fielkow breaks down preconceived notions on fleet safety and offers a new framework on how to manage it in your organization. 

He is delivering the opening keynote at the 2023 Fleet Safety Conference, convening November 8-10 in Santa Clara, Calif.

Today's topics include:

- Safety is not a priority.  
- It's not an accident and it’s not minor. 
- Move from a blame culture to a just culture. 
- We don’t necessarily need more processes. 
-  Safety is not a department. 
- We’re drowning in data.  
- Just because you are compliant does not mean you are safe.

Fleet Budgets Struggle to Cope With Increasing Costs


The 141st State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet identifies the top factors that are contributing to increasing costs in the commercial fleet market, as presented by AF Editor Mike Antich. Today's topics include: - While cost containment has been a top priority since the birth of the fleet industry, today, it has gained even greater urgency since fleet is more expensive than ever. - When you examine fleet cost increases in their totality, the fleet industry is experiencing a simultaneous convergence of many different cost trends. - The top cost trends examined are: 1. Higher acquisition costs and the minimal or non-existent availability of fleet incentives. 2. Inflationary pressures on all goods and services, higher interest rates, and higher fuel prices. 3. Ongoing sourcing constraints primarily due to restrictive OEM ordering allocation systems that preclude fleets from getting all the replacement units they need. 4. As the average age of fleet vehicles in service increases, so does the frequency of unscheduled maintenance incidents and PM expenses as older vehicles enter new PM intervals, often requiring replacing wear items such as tires and brakes. 5. Higher rental expenses due to unpredictable OTD and slower maintenance turnaround due to replacement parts shortages. 6. Increase in tolls, dollar amount for parking fines, miscellaneous environmental disposal fees for tires and motor oil, and assorted property taxes on fleet assets.
