EPISODE SUMMARY:
“You don’t have time today. Do you think you’re going to have more time tomorrow?”
If you’re still running your fleet with pen and paper or outdated spreadsheets, you’re making life way harder than it needs to be. In this episode of The Fleet Success Show, hosts Josh Turley and Marc Canton break down why modern Fleet Management Information Systems (FMIS) are essential and why waiting to implement one is like choosing to manually unscrew lug nuts instead of using an air gun. They use an unforgettable analogy—comparing fleet management without an FMIS to changing a tire with your bare hands—and challenge fleet professionals to stop delaying the inevitable and start investing in their success.
The conversation dives deep into common objections fleet managers have when considering new software: fear of change, lack of time, data cleanup concerns, and the dreaded RFP process. Josh and Marc emphasize that waiting is actually costing fleet teams time and money. They debunk the myth that staying manual saves time, illustrating how a properly implemented FMIS system—whether from RTA or another provider—transforms fleet operations, improves efficiency, and ultimately, gives managers clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. The key takeaway? Stop delaying your success. The longer you wait, the more time and resources you waste.
Key Takeaways:
🔧 An FMIS is a game-changer – Stop tracking fleet data with spreadsheets and paper. It’s inefficient and unsustainable.
⏳ Waiting = Wasting – Every moment spent without a modern system is time and money lost.
💡 Invest in the right tool – Choosing an FMIS that fits your needs is like upgrading to an impact wrench—it makes everything faster and more effective.
📊 Data cleanup isn’t a reason to delay – If your data is messy, that’s exactly why you need a system to help manage it.
🛠️ Implementation is key – Training and proper setup ensure that teams actually use and benefit from the software.
