The J. J. Keller Center for Market Insights announced the launch of its fourth annual State of Fleet Management survey.
The company said this benchmarking survey aims to gain insights into the challenges faced by fleet managers, enabling the transportation industry to better understand their priorities and constraints as these change over time.
The survey covers a range of topics, including regulatory compliance, safety, driver knowledge and skill, and leadership buy-in. Fleet managers from all sectors are encouraged to participate and contribute to this research.
The survey, which is now open, will run through Monday, Feb. 12.
