Public fleet operations provide essential duties during emergencies, including the unprecedented coronavirus pandemic. From technicians to management, fleet employees are at their jobsites, working to keep police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, trash trucks, and other essential vehicles on the road. But it’s no small task to pivot from normal to emergency operations in the face of an invisible virus.
