The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and ends on November 30. For fleet managers, this officially means that although the start of the season is a couple of months away, it’s never too early to begin hurricane preparations. Being as hurricane-ready as possible can lessen the impact of inclement weather on your employees, operations, and customers.

To get an idea of the importance of having a backup generator for your business, think about what could happen if an unexpected power outage occurred. You would not be able to access data, complete sales, manufacture products, connect with customers, ensure employee and customer safety, and could be forced to shut down your business until power was restored. This can add to the loss of revenue, excessive downtime, loss of customers, corrupt/lost data, property damage, and a damaged reputation — none of which any business can afford.
With fuel being a top expense for fleets, determining the most cost-effective purchasing method to fuel your vehicles and equipment requires careful consideration. While there’s no common “one method fills all”, what is common among all fleets is the need to manage the price of fuel and offset the risk of fuel price volatility. Choosing the method that best matches your specific requirements can help you tackle this need head-on.
As if fleet managers don’t have enough on their plate dealing with the ongoing impact of the COVID pandemic on their fleet operations, along comes the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially begins June 1 and runs through November 30.

No matter how many preventative measures you take to protect your business from unexpected events, some things are simply beyond your control. Among those are power outages caused by weather events, site-specific events, and man-made/natural disasters.

Unexpected events usually lead to unforeseen expenses. However, there are a few steps you can take to protect your business from them. The most obvious step is selecting the right insurance coverage to cover the costs associated with property damage, liability claims, lost income, and other covered losses. An unapparent step is investing in a solution that can keep some of these costs from occurring, like installing a commercial backup/standby generator.

In mid-October, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its annual winter outlook for December through February, and the good news is that a mild winter with drier conditions and above-average temperatures could be in store for much of the United States.
The key word, however, is “much.” The outlook for the Southeast, East Coast and Mid-Atlantic is not quite as rosy, with the amount of precipitation expected to be above average and the chances of colder-than-normal temperatures greater than anywhere in the country.
This means — especially for those regions — that snow, ice and freezing temperatures can present numerous challenges for utility fleets. Since winter hazards are not out of the picture this year, neither should your preparations be for winterizing your vehicles and equipment.
