With many fleet managers ready to retire, who will step in to take their place? Government Fleet is looking to recognize the best young fleet professionals under 40 and see how they’re preparing to change the industry.
We’re looking for nominations of fleet managers, supervisors, technicians, analysts, etc., under 40 who are successful, motivated, and show promise. Perhaps they’ve made important contributions to their own operations, they’re active within the industry, or show potential as emerging fleet leaders.
