FleetAnswers is a free networking community for fleet professionals from all industries to connect, share and learn from one another in a secure environment. Our community consists of experienced fleet professionals from Utility, Municipal, Private, and several other fleet industries. The individual fleet participant can leverage the collective knowledge and resources of the entire fleet community through sophisticated messaging functions and a cutting edge Forum platform while having access to the most relevant industry information and fleet benchmarking data.
FleetAnswers member and supporter, Ann C. Brown-Hailey says that “Networking with other fleet managers and the need for the swift exchange of information is more valuable than ever. FleetAnswers provide the industry specific online forum and resource utility fleet managers have been seeking.”
Ann is the Director of Administration for the Electric Utility Fleet Managers Conference, EUFMC, an annual conference that FleetAnswers attends.
Some of our members call FleetAnswers, “an invaluable single point of contact for a broad spectrum of experienced fleet professionals” and “the most comprehensive and interactive data source in the fleet industry”.
While FleetAnswers focuses primarily on the individual fleet professional or fleet organization, we also support several fleet associations, like the Municipal Maintenance Equipment Association (MEMA), based in California and the National Conference of State Fleet Administrators (NCSFA). Members of these organizations can join FleetAnswers and be represented as an association member within the community.
