Fleet ownership decisions require fleet managers to become used truck salesmen. Because the used truck market is cyclical in nature and is subject to variables such as equipment specifications, condition, mileage, and supply and demand; it requires monitoring all of these factors. Managing this process can be a full-time job often yielding dubious results. A no-risk leasing scenario will provide a smooth transition cycle to newer models free from the inherent risks, carrying costs and resource commitment that ownership demands. The chart to the right depicts historical resale market conditions. Fleet Advantage constantly monitors resale market intelligence that could translate into significant savings by knowing when to either shorten or extend a vehicle's lifecycle to capitalize on current market conditions.
