EP 144: Training is the Remedy for Your Fleet’s Ails
EPISODE SUMMARY:
If you want a successful fleet, you need a successful training program. Training is the reason Grandpa Turley was able to save UPS $100 million. It can make a night and day difference for your fleet, too. Listen as Josh and Marc shoot the breeze about fleet training programs—why you need one, how to build one, and what problems training can help solve.
RTA's Josh Turley and Marc Canton are big proponents of the importance of training.
Ongoing technical training is table stakes for fleet technicians. With the pace of change in automotive technology, if your techs aren’t getting at least 40 hours of training per year, they’re falling behind. But your training program needs to go beyond technical skills to include:
- Warehouse and inventory processes
- Quality assurance processes
- Business management basics
- Leadership skills
In this week’s episode of The Fleet Success Show, our co-hosts dive into the challenges fleet managers can solve with training, what a good training program looks like, and how to use data to identify training needs.
