I’m always interested in ways to save on fuel mileage revenue” -- Director/Manager/Supervisor EBE “Improve safety by managing drivers not data. Anything that can improve safety gets my attention” -- Safety Director HireRight “Driver retention and selection is high on my list of priorities. The ball cap caught my attention” -- President/CEO/Owner J.J. Keller “This caught my eye. It’s full of information” – Director/Manager/Supervisor Qualcomm “I wanted to see if anything is new that I could ask my account representative on his next trip in” -- Corporate Fleet Manager TMW Systems “It made me aware of all they offer” -- Fleet Safety Director XtraLease “I found the ad to be creative” -- Director/Manager Transportation Hendrickson “This is our preferred suspension.
