Ditch the Chaos: 6 Best Practices for Building Your Fleet Command Center- Supplier Webinar
2025-11-18 13:00 - 14:00
Is your team stuck in reactive mode, bouncing between paper forms, verbal instructions, and information silos? You’re not alone. Most fleets run on fragmented systems and institutional knowledge, creating daily chaos, inconsistent results, and unnecessary downtime. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Join us as 2025 Fleet Hall of Fame Nominee, Nathan Schafer, and RTA Product Manager, Dallin Dastrup, show you six practical, proven best practices to eliminate the noise and build a process-driven command center that will enable your team to move faster, increase availability, and stay in control no matter what comes your way.
By the end of this session, you’ll learn how to:

Identify the signs that your systems are fueling chaos instead of reducing it
Choose an FMIS that works the way your fleet does—not the other way around
Digitize your most critical information resources for real-time visibility
Build centralized documentation that replaces institutional knowledge
Eliminate silos with shared access to SOPs, contacts, and fleet resources
Remove the constant firefighting so you can create a process-first culture that scales

Nathan and Dallin will show you how today’s smartest fleets are improving operations, creating accountability, and building scalable systems using the tools they already have—all without adding complexity. Whether you’re running a municipal fleet, utility fleet, or a large enterprise operation, you’ll walk away with actionable steps to take your fleet from chaos to command.

Vehicle Fuel Management Online Certificate Course 2025
2025-11-04 13:00 - 2025-11-06 15:00
Fuel is the second largest fleet vehicle expense, so its management requires scrutiny to take every opportunity for minimizing costs and mitigating risk.
Moreover, fleet specialists must understand regional environmental issues and policies associated with fuel. The fleet professional should also know about alternative fuels, the emerging changes in technologies and local government acts or regulations associated with them.
This discipline’s competencies deal with both conventional and alternative fuels in centralized and decentralized operations.
This course will cover the Vehicle Fuel Management competencies including:

Environmental Issues
Commercial Programs
Conventional Fuels
Alternative Fuels

Through three live virtual sessions, participants will demonstrate the varying strategies of dealing with vehicle fuel management by focusing on fuel types, delivery systems, regulation on storage tanks, alternative fuel technology and sustainability. Learners will engage in instructor-led lessons, questions and answers sessions, and have access to a knowledgeable expert. Upon conclusion of the four-part course, participants will gain access to the Vehicle Fuel Management Certificate program exam, a 50-question multiple-choice test that can be taken anytime, anywhere (system requirements apply). Those who successfully pass the exam (one year from date of purchase) will be awarded a professional certificate.
Course inclusions: NAFA’s Vehicle Fuel Management e-Guidebook, Vehicle Fuel Management Study Guide, (3) 2-hour live sessions, (1) Online Vehicle Fuel Management Certificate exam, and a Professional Certificate – upon successfully passing of exam (optional).
