The conversation dives deep into common objections fleet managers have when considering new software: fear of change, lack of time, data cleanup concerns, and the dreaded RFP process. Josh and Marc emphasize that waiting is actually costing fleet teams time and money. They debunk the myth that staying manual saves time, illustrating how a properly implemented FMIS system—whether from RTA or another provider—transforms fleet operations, improves efficiency, and ultimately, gives managers clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. The key takeaway? Stop delaying your success. The longer you wait, the more time and resources you waste.

Key Takeaways:

🔧 An FMIS is a game-changer – Stop tracking fleet data with spreadsheets and paper. It’s inefficient and unsustainable.
⏳ Waiting = Wasting – Every moment spent without a modern system is time and money lost.
💡 Invest in the right tool – Choosing an FMIS that fits your needs is like upgrading to an impact wrench—it makes everything faster and more effective.
📊 Data cleanup isn’t a reason to delay – If your data is messy, that’s exactly why you need a system to help manage it.
🛠️ Implementation is key – Training and proper setup ensure that teams actually use and benefit from the software.

About the Speakers:

👨‍💼 Josh Turley – CEO of RTA Fleet with 20+ years in fleet software development and technology leadership. A proponent of change management and efficiency in fleet operations.

RTA CEO Josh Turley and head of product & consulting Marc Canton explore a recent client’s struggles replacing institutional knowledge of systems when seasoned employees move on and technology changes. 

Josh and Marc explain how essential it is to document all of your processes and procedures—even the most common, obvious processes that you do every day—and thinking about the person who comes in behind you (like when you leave, retire, or just go on vacation and don’t want to be disturbed by work). 

What would happen if your most seasoned fleet professionals were abducted by aliens and you had to replace your entire team? Would the new employees have any idea what to do? Your documentation becomes your insurance policy for whatever could happen to your fleet. 

Josh and Marc also explain the importance of reviewing and revising your processes regularly so that your documentation is always accurate and doesn’t include unnecessary steps or tools that don’t exist anymore. 

Get the tips and tricks you need to improve your process documentation and keep your fleet running in any situation.

“No one goes to school for fleet management—so if you’re in this role, you’re already on an unconventional journey. The only question is: what are you doing to bridge the gap?”

Drawing on 35+ years of experience and 450+ consulting engagements across North America, Tony shares hard-earned insights into the two major career paths that land someone in a fleet manager seat—and more importantly, the gaps each path leaves behind. Whether you're lacking technical knowledge or strategic business management experience, this episode offers concrete solutions to help you grow into the leader your fleet needs.

You'll walk away with actionable ideas—from leveraging CAFM/CPFP certifications to local networking, intentional culture, and even why shadowing your techs might be the best crash course you could ask for.

• CAFM and CPFP: Essential certifications to build business acumen and operational awareness.
• Intentional Culture: Not fluff—an actual strategy for leading people and improving performance.

Key Highlights

• Importance of Availability: Steve emphasizes that availability is the "granddaddy of all metrics" in fleet management, as it directly affects the ability to complete missions and achieve goals.
• Initial Challenges: When Steve started, the client's fleet availability was in the low 80s. Over six months, his team raised it to 97% by revamping preventive maintenance programs and educating the team on the importance of availability.
• Engaging Stakeholders: Key to their success was engaging with stakeholders, understanding their needs, and ensuring they were informed about the fleet's status through weekly reports.
• Preventive Maintenance Compliance: Another crucial metric was on-time preventive maintenance compliance, which improved from 30% to over 90%, significantly reducing breakdowns and increasing availability.
• Cultural Change: The improvements fostered a positive shift in team culture, with increased recognition and morale as progress was made.
• Advice for New Fleet Managers: Steve advises new fleet managers to take their time to understand the data, engage stakeholders, and set realistic goals. He emphasizes the importance of weekly reports for tracking progress and identifying obstacles.

RTA's Josh Turley and Marc Canton are big proponents of the importance of training.

Ongoing technical training is table stakes for fleet technicians. With the pace of change in automotive technology, if your techs aren’t getting at least 40 hours of training per year, they’re falling behind. But your training program needs to go beyond technical skills to include:

- Warehouse and inventory processes

- Quality assurance processes 

- Business management basics

- Leadership skills

In this week’s episode of The Fleet Success Show, our co-hosts dive into the challenges fleet managers can solve with training, what a good training program looks like, and how to use data to identify training needs. Tune in now for their practical advice.
