Fleet managers everywhere are playing defense when it comes to vehicle replacement. In this hard-hitting episode of The Fleet Success Show, RTA CEO Josh Turley is joined by Fleet Management Analyst Griffin Scott to dig into the real cost of reactive replacement planning—and why it's hurting your maintenance program, your budget, and your credibility with leadership.
Griffin shares stories from more than 100 replacement studies he's conducted across the country and breaks down a simple, math-backed formula that every fleet manager can use to justify their replacement funding. Together, they expose the "doom loop" created by underfunded fleets and show how a strong replacement plan can unlock availability, control costs, and even help solve your technician shortage.
Whether you're battling aging assets, getting steamrolled at budget meetings, or just tired of hearing "we'll look at it next year," this episode will arm you with the strategy, language, and validation you need to take action.
