Picture this: you’re sitting across from a wise mentor, someone who’s been in your shoes, ready to share a simple truth that could change the way you run your business. That’s where we are right now. You’re not just managing vehicles—you’re managing investments, and there’s a way to make those investments work harder for you. The key in small business fleet management? Timing.
Let’s talk about why timing matters when it comes to your fleet. Imagine the difference between selling a car while it’s still a showstopper and waiting until it’s barely running. One of those scenarios puts cash in your pocket and keeps your business moving forward; the other drains your resources. Timing the sale of your vehicles—what we call remarketing—at their peak resale value is how you win. It’s how you stay ahead of repair costs, maintain predictable expenses, and, ultimately, grow your business. (Read more about achieving better fleet outcomes here.)
Here’s the thing: the journey to a high resale price doesn’t start at the end—it starts the moment your vehicle hits the road. Think of it like planting a seed. The way you nurture it determines the kind of harvest you’ll reap. And in the world of fleet management, nurturing means teaching your drivers the small habits that make a big difference.
We get it—you’re juggling a million things at once. Managing a fleet, no matter how big or small, is just one of those tasks that can quickly slip through the cracks, especially when you’re doing it yourself. You're running a business, not a full-time fleet operation. And sometimes, understanding the exact moment to remarket a vehicle can feel like an overwhelming task in itself. After all, just because you’re managing your fleet doesn’t mean you have all the tools and expertise to maximize its value.
That’s where a bit of expert help can make all the difference. If you’re open to it, working with a fleet coach can give you the support you need to make those big decisions with confidence.
