Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
FLEET OWNER is written for executives and top managers at commercial truck fleets of all types. Readers hold primary responsibility for the safe, profitable operation of vehicles used to transport goods or deliver services. Some work for Fortune 500 corporations, others for small family owned operations, and the majority for mid-sized businesses. They operate over 8 million vehicles that range in size from pickups to 18-wheel tractor-trailer combinations for a variety of businesses. In addition to traditional trucking services, our audience's businesses include construction, utility services, agriculture, retail distribution or any industry that needs trucks to fulfill its primary mission.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Economic and environmental pressures are pushing truck fleets of all types to actively explore alternatives to the industry’s long-term standard fuel, diesel. Unlike diesel, which can be used across almost the entire range of commercial vehicle applications, these alternatives must be chosen carefully to fit a fleet's specific needs. Choosing the wrong one will doom a fleet's attempt to make the transition away from diesel. This instructional package leads the audience through the process of analyzing the pros and cons of each fuel, helping them to match the right fuel to their specific application. A sidebar checklist helps readers identify specific operational needs that will impact their alternative fuel options.
