MBA –FLEET MANAGEMENT
The Academic Basics
Unlike law, medicine, or accounting, fleet management isn’t a very specific discipline. Fleet managers have a number of responsibilities, not all of them vehicle related, and the profession requires a wide range of skills, knowledge, and experience; a “fleet management” major or academic track isn’t practical.
That said, however, there are course offerings at most colleges that can help students interested in fleet management to prepare for a career:

• English composition: Written communication skills are a critical element of success in fleet management. Fleet managers communicate across a broad spectrum within, and outside of, the company. From drivers, to managers, to senior executives; from suppliers, to auditors, even law enforcement, the job requires the ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and persuasively.
• Accounting: How fleet costs are allocated — both expenses and capital expenditures — is also important. Understanding the impact of fleet vehicle costs on the company’s financial statements helps to clarify for management what is happening in the fleet department.
• Finance: Learning the basics behind the lease vs. buy decision, how money flows in a corporate environment, interest rates, and taxes are all part of the job.
• Risk management: One of the two overall missions of the fleet manager is safety. Fleet managers need to know how to understand and mitigate risk, and recognize risk factors both before hiring as well as during fleet service.
• Law: Certainly, a law degree isn’t necessary; however, basic law courses can help fleet managers understand the impact of local, state, and federal legislation on a fleet operation. Also, human resource and labor laws often come into play, vis-a-vis establishing and enforcing policy.
• Civics/government: Understanding how government works — how it makes decisions, how funds are acquired and allocated, and how it differs from the private sector is important not only for government fleet management, but for commercial fleet managers as well.
• Systems/computers: It isn’t necessary to be a programmer; however, learning the basics of IT systems is crucial, as fleet managers depend upon automated reporting and processes to do the job. Knowing how to use basic office programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is almost a given in any business environment.

​Keep in mind these skills can be acquired at the academic level; there are only a few fleet management-specific courses offered at a few universities. They are, however, important in the overall conduct of the job. A good case can be made that fleet managers interact on a regular basis with a more eclectic range of company disciplines than just about any other (save for human resources/benefits). Understanding the basics of each of these disciplines, and being able to communicate clearly and concisely with each one, is a must for any successful fleet manager.
