Useful resources for trucking during the COVID-19 pandemic
The nation and the world are facing an unprecedented situation as it grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus that first appeared in China late last year. It has many, many effects on the trucking industry, which the nation is relying on to keep vital supplies moving even as government officials are prohibiting large public gatherings, closing schools, shuttering offices, and more.
HDT is working closely with our sister fleet media brands to stay on top of what fleets need to know and how other fleets are dealing with everything from keeping drivers safe and healthy to handling significant changes in demands from customers.

FLEET MANAGEMENT AUDIT
Fleet management is the use of a set of vehicles in order to provide services to a third-party, or to perform a task for our organization, in the most efficient and productive manner with a determined level of service and cost.
Fleet management activities are shown in the following graph 1:
Graph 1: fleet management activities
The proposal audit analyses and assesses all fleet management activities shown in the graph 1, and its main goals are:
- Know the overall status of the fleet management activities
- Provide the analysis, the assessment, the advice, the suggestions and the actions to take in order to cut costs and increase the efficiency and efficacy of the fleet management activities
With the information obtained, we’ll elaborate a report that holds the overall status of the fleet management as well as the suggestions, recommendations and the measures to take in order to cut costs and optimize the fleet management activities.
