    Fleet Management 101: Where Fleet Belongs in Your Organization

    In this episode of The Fleet Success Show, Marc, RTA’s VP of Fleet Strategy, puts Nathan’s 25 years of fleet experience to the test with a provocative question: Should one of fleet’s biggest internal customers also be its boss? Nathan spent years managing a city fleet that reported through Public Works. He had strong leadership and a positive working relationship—but still experienced some of the structural challenges that can come with the model. Marc and Nathan explore how reporting through Public Works can create real or perceived conflicts of interest. If fleet is responsible for objectively serving police, fire, utilities, Public Works, and other departments, what happens when one of those customers also sits above fleet in the organizational chart? That question can affect everything from budget allocation and vehicle replacement to maintenance priorities and fleet’s ability to advocate for resources with senior leadership. The conversation also exposes another important distinction: Is your organization managing a fleet—or simply managing fleet maintenance? Some public-sector organizations have a shop supervisor responsible for technicians and repairs but no dedicated fleet leader overseeing replacement planning, vehicle specifications, lifecycle management, budgeting, standardization, and overall fleet strategy. Without that function, major fleet decisions can become fragmented across departments—or turn into political negotiations rather than objective, data-driven decisions. Marc and Nathan make the case that fleet may be better positioned as an independent internal service: serving every department objectively, providing leadership with a clearer picture of true fleet costs and performance, and giving fleet professionals the authority and access they need to lead with confidence. But they also acknowledge that successful fleets do operate under Public Works—and they want to hear the other side. In this episode, you'll learn: Why reporting to an internal fleet customer can create real or perceived conflicts of interestHow organizational structure can influence fleet budgets and resource allocationWhy vehicle replacement should be a data-driven economic exercise rather than a departmental negotiationThe difference between a fleet maintenance operation and a true fleet management organizationHow organizational independence can improve cost visibility and accountabilityWhy direct access to senior leadership can help fleet leaders advocate for their operationHow General Services, Finance, and independent fleet departments compare as potential organizational structuresDoes your fleet report through Public Works? Listen to the full episode and join the conversation about where fleet belongs on the organizational chart.   Speaker Bios Marc Canton is Vice President of Fleet Strategy at RTA Fleet, where he helps public-sector fleet leaders improve performance, strengthen decision-making, and build more effective fleet organizations. A recognized fleet strategist and industry thought leader, Marc brings a practical, data-driven perspective to the operational, financial, and organizational challenges facing today’s fleets. As a host of The Fleet Success Show, Marc explores the strategies, processes, and leadership principles that help fleet professionals improve stakeholder satisfaction, resource efficiency, culture, and risk management, and ultimately build fleets they’re proud to lead.   Nathan Schafer is a Fleet Consultant at RTA Fleet with approximately 25 years of hands-on fleet experience. He began his career as a technician before advancing into fleet management, where he managed both private-sector and government fleets. Nathan joined RTA in 2021, initially working in training before serving in several roles and ultimately moving into fleet consulting. His experience from the shop floor through fleet leadership gives him a practical understanding of the operational and organizational challenges fleet professionals face every day. Today, Nathan works with fleet organizations to evaluate their operations, identify opportunities for improvement, and apply proven fleet management practices that help them operate more effectively and build sustainable long-term success.

    Episode 246: The Utilization Debate: Should You Move Vehicles Between Drivers?

    The answer can have significant implications for vehicle replacement planning, residual value, total cost of ownership, warranty coverage, fleet availability, and long-term capital planning. Marc Canton is joined by Sara Burnam, Scott Conlon, Drew Morrow, and Jake Johnson to examine the issue from public-sector, consulting, heavy-duty, emergency-management, and fleet-operations perspectives. The group explores why low-utilization vehicles can be just as important to identify as high-utilization assets; when reassigning vehicles can protect lifecycle economics; and why simply having two identical vehicles does not necessarily mean they belong in the same lifecycle or utilization class. They also examine the human side of utilization management. Drivers and departments can develop a sense of ownership over assigned vehicles, creating what the group calls “switching friction.” That means the mathematically optimal fleet decision may not always be the most practical one. Fleet leaders have to consider the time, political capital, operational disruption, and organizational culture required to make a change. The discussion gets especially interesting with specialized assets. Is it financially responsible to move a former patrol vehicle into an administrative role? When does the cost of removing specialized upfits outweigh the savings? Could cycling a heavy-duty truck from high-mileage highway service into lower-mileage city service extend its useful life? And should fleets deliberately maximize vehicle use while an asset is under warranty? The central takeaway is not that every fleet should constantly rotate vehicles. It’s that fleet utilization should be actively managed with data rather than allowed to become a blind spot. High-performing fleet leaders understand their expected utilization, identify meaningful outliers, evaluate the lifecycle and replacement implications, and then choose the intervention that produces the best outcome for their organization. Sometimes that means reassigning an asset. Sometimes it means creating a different utilization class or replacement cycle. And sometimes the operational friction means another strategy makes more sense. The important thing is being able to defend the decision with data. In This Episode, You'll LearnWhen vehicle reassignment can improve fleet utilizationHow utilization affects replacement timing and total cost of ownershipWhy high-mileage assets can negatively affect residual valueHow to identify and manage high- and low-utilization outliersWhen identical vehicles may require different lifecycle strategiesWhy organizational culture affects asset reassignmentHow “switching friction” should factor into utilization decisionsWhen specialized vehicles should—or shouldn't—be repurposedHow warranty periods can influence utilization strategyWhy replacement scoring can help prioritize assets within the same classHow better utilization data helps fleet leaders make defensible capital decisions  Speaker BiosMarc Canton — VP of Fleet Strategy, RTAMarc Canton serves as VP of Fleet Strategy at RTA and hosts this episode of The Fleet Success Show. He works with RTA's fleet professionals to help fleet leaders examine the operational and financial decisions that affect fleet performance. In this discussion, Marc challenges the panel to move beyond “it depends” and address the economics of utilization, replacement timing, residual value, and total cost of ownership. Sara Burnam — Fleet Success Manager, RTASara is a Fleet Success Manager at RTA with approximately 27 years of fleet industry experience. Her perspective on utilization management is informed by firsthand experience identifying underutilized vehicles, repurposing assets, and avoiding unnecessary replacements. In this episode, she also explores the unique challenges associated with reassigning specialized vehicles such as marked police units. Scott Conlon — Fleet Consultant, RTAScott Conlon works on RTA's fleet consulting team and brings approximately 25 years of fleet industry experience to the discussion. He challenges fleets to consider not only the economics of vehicle utilization but also lifecycle classifications, replacement scoring, organizational culture, and the time and effort required to move assets between users. Drew Morrow — Fleet Success Manager, RTADrew Morrow is a Fleet Success Manager at RTA with 15 years of experience leading fleets. Drawing on his background in fleet operations and emergency management, Drew examines vehicle reassignment through the lenses of asset use case, operational requirements, remarketing, and the data fleet leaders need to justify utilization decisions. Jake Johnson — Fleet Success Manager, RTAJake Johnson is a Fleet Success Manager at RTA with more than 20 years of experience on the heavy-duty commercial side of the fleet industry. His perspective highlights how utilization strategies can differ dramatically by asset type, including situations where heavy-duty vehicles move from high-mileage applications to lower-mileage duty cycles later in their lives. CTAFleet leaders shouldn't have to make lifecycle and utilization decisions in the dark. RTA Fleet360 helps public fleet leaders bring asset, maintenance, utilization, lifecycle, and cost information together so they can identify fleet blind spots, make better decisions, and confidently stand behind those decisions.

    Episode 245: Your Fleet Is Losing Money Without a Chargeback System

    In this episode of The Fleet Success Show, RTA Fleet’s Marc Canton and Marc Knight break down fleet cost allocation, chargebacks, and billing, and explain why these financial practices are about much more than moving money between accounts. A properly structured fleet chargeback system helps recover the full cost of operating the fleet, including costs that are easy to overlook. Fuel, for example, costs more than the price paid at the pump. Managing fuel sites, ordering fuel, maintaining infrastructure, and administering the program all contribute to its true cost. The same principle applies to parts, labor, administration, vehicle replacement, and other fleet services. But cost recovery is only part of the equation. Marc and Marc explain how chargebacks can create greater cost visibility, transparency, and accountability across an organization. When departments can see the financial impact of underutilized vehicles, preventable accidents, missed maintenance, and other operating decisions, fleet costs become a tool for changing behavior, not simply an accounting exercise. The conversation also explores the critical difference between cost allocation, chargebacks, and billing. You'll hear why traditional monthly reports can create financial blind spots, how a structured billing workflow creates a more traceable process, and why fleet and finance teams need to agree on customers, account structures, rates, transaction rules, and cost-recovery methodology. In this episode, you'll learn:What fleet cost allocation is and how it supports chargeback rate developmentWhy fleets need to understand both direct and indirect operating costsHow a chargeback system helps fleets recover the true cost of servicesWhy chargebacks can improve vehicle utilization and influence stakeholder behaviorHow to determine which costs should be fixed versus directly chargedWhy fleet billing requires more than running a month-end reportHow billing workflows can improve financial visibility and transaction traceabilityWhy fleet and finance teams should work together when designing a chargeback programWhat to consider when determining customers, account structures, rates, and billing frequencyHow stronger fleet financial data can help leaders make better decisions and confidently explain their operationWhether you're operating an internal service fund, enterprise fund, public-sector fleet, or another organization that needs to accurately recover fleet costs, this episode provides a practical framework for building a more transparent and defensible approach to fleet finance.

    Episode 243: Every Work Order Should End With an Inspection

    Should every fleet maintenance work order end with an inspection? Yes—but that doesn’t mean every vehicle needs a full preventive maintenance inspection every time it enters the shop. In Episode 243 of The Fleet Success Show, host Marc Canton talks with Drew Morrow, Fleet Success Manager at RTA Fleet, about why an appropriate inspection should be part of every fleet work order—and how documented inspection standards can help fleets catch problems earlier, improve quality control, mitigate risk, and return safer, more reliable assets to service. The principle is simple: If a vehicle is already in your shop, take the opportunity to look at it. In This Episode, You’ll Learn Why every fleet work order should include an appropriate inspection How to determine the right inspection scope based on the asset and repair Why technicians shouldn't develop “blinders” around the original work order complaint How inspection checklists create consistent expectations for technicians Why QA/QC matters when vehicles return from outside maintenance vendors How documented inspections and maintenance records support risk mitigation Why PM compliance and asset history should influence inspection decisions How inspections can improve fleet availability and stakeholder confidence Why fleet leaders should view inspections as part of their responsibility for vehicle safety and stewardship Looking to take the next step to fleet success?

    Episode 242: Rethinking the Modern Motor Pool

    Every motor pool eventually hits the same wall: you either buy enough vehicles to cover your busiest day, or you accept that some days you'll come up short. On this episode of The Fleet Success Show, host Marc Canton (VP of Product and Consulting at RTA Fleet) sits down with Sebastian Reszka, who leads public sector sales at Uber, to talk about a third option: using Uber for Business as a flex layer on top of your existing motor pool. Sebastian explains what Uber for Business actually offers government and education fleets, how billing, vehicle-class restrictions, time windows, and destination controls work, and why Uber aims to roll a new program out in under a week. Marc and Sebastian also get into RTA's 80/20 rule of thumb for motor pool sizing, real public-sector rollouts (GSA, Long Beach, Portland), and whether micro-mobility (yes, scooters) is coming to fleet programs next.

    Episode 241: How Utah Built the Most Centralized Fleet in America

    Fleet may be a small world, but Utah shows just how powerful that network can become. In this episode of The Fleet Success Show, Marc Canton is joined by Steve Saltzgiver and Nathan Schafer to look back at decades of fleet management in Utah and the systems, relationships, and leadership that helped shape the state’s fleet community. Steve shares the story of his time with the State of Utah, including the expansion of its fuel network and the effort to consolidate roughly 30 independent state fleets. Nathan reflects on his years managing fleets in the Salt Lake Valley and how Utah’s network of fleet professionals gave managers a place to compare notes, solve problems, challenge vendors, and learn from experienced leaders. The conversation also comes full circle as the group discusses RTA’s partnership with the State of Utah Division of Fleet Operations and the connections that brought their careers together years later. They also dig into a bigger lesson for fleet leaders everywhere: you don’t have to figure everything out alone. Strong fleet communities create opportunities to benchmark performance, challenge assumptions, share hard-earned knowledge, and ultimately build better operations. In this episode, you’ll hear about: How Utah developed a highly centralized state fleet operation The history behind Utah’s statewide fuel network Consolidating roughly 30 independent fleet operations Why a common fleet management system matters How collaboration between neighboring fleet managers solves real operational problems The value of comparing vehicle, vendor, and maintenance experiences Why benchmarking can motivate continuous improvement How mentors and experienced fleet professionals accelerate career development Why strong professional communities can elevate an entire region’s fleet performance If you lead a public fleet, this episode is a reminder that fleet success isn’t built through software or processes alone. It also comes from the people, expertise, systems, and relationships that help you continuously improve. Build the fleet you’re proud to lead.   Marc Canton Marc Canton is Vice President of Fleet Strategy at RTA Fleet and host of The Fleet Success Show, where he brings together experienced fleet professionals to share practical lessons that help fleet leaders strengthen their operations and lead with confidence.   Steve Saltzgiver Steve Saltzgiver is a veteran fleet leader and consultant with decades of public-sector fleet experience, including leadership roles with West Jordan City, Utah Transit Authority, and the State of Utah.

    Episode 240: Is AI Replacing a Decades-Old Profession?

    Is AI really coming for fleet technicians? Or is it about to make them more valuable than ever? Recorded live from the Government Fleet Expo (GFX) in Long Beach, California, Marc Canton and Facundo Tassara have an unscripted conversation covering the biggest trends shaping the future of fleet management. From artificial intelligence and robotics to technician shortages, fleet analytics, benchmarking, leadership development, and government fleet collaboration, this episode explores what public fleet leaders should be paying attention to over the next five years. The discussion goes beyond AI hype to examine how artificial intelligence will transform diagnostics, analytics, and decision-making—not replace experienced fleet professionals. Marc and Facundo also reflect on lessons from GFX, why Florida government fleets consistently rank among the nation's best, how collaboration drives operational excellence, and why future fleet leaders will need stronger business and leadership skills than ever before. Whether you're a fleet manager, maintenance supervisor, public works leader, or municipal executive, this episode offers practical insights into how technology, data, and leadership are reshaping the fleet industry. Key Takeaways AI will augment—not simply replace—fleet technicians. The hosts predict AI-powered robotics and intelligent diagnostic systems will eventually handle repetitive maintenance tasks while skilled technicians focus on higher-level problem solving. Context matters more than data alone. AI can analyze fleet information quickly, but fleet professionals must still provide operational context to make good decisions. Fleet analytics are evolving. Traditional utilization metrics like miles driven often fail to tell the complete story. Future fleet management will rely on mission-based performance metrics instead of simple mileage. Leadership skills are becoming essential. As technicians advance into supervisory and management roles, communication, coaching, and strategic thinking become just as important as technical expertise. Collaboration creates stronger fleets. Government fleets that openly share ideas, purchasing strategies, emergency planning, and operational best practices consistently achieve better results. AI requires healthy skepticism. The hosts demonstrate how AI tools can occasionally provide incorrect information, reinforcing the importance of validating AI-generated answers. Fleet managers need better storytelling. Data alone isn't enough—leaders must communicate performance in ways executives and elected officials understand. Industry relationships accelerate innovation. Conferences like GFX provide opportunities to exchange ideas that can significantly improve fleet operations and professional growth.
