A company’s fleet often represents one of its largest expenditures. Not only is purchasing new fleet vehicles expensive, but so is maintaining them and repairing them. If you’re looking for a smart way to cut costs while preserving the quality of the services you provide to your customers, consider making the switch to fleet replacement services with Xcel Delivery.
Avoid Buying Replacement Vehicles
Fleet vehicles get heavy usage, and because of this, they tend to have a rapid replacement cycle. It’s standard for fleet managers to replace vehicles after 100,000 miles or eight years, whichever comes first. Over time, routinely replacing your vehicles can cost your business many tens of thousands of dollars. Your company will also need to pay the interest on the new auto loans. When you choose fleet replacement services, you’ll never need to buy a new vehicle again.
Cut Your Maintenance and Repair Costs
It’s expensive to repair and maintain fleet vehicles. Because they are subjected to heavy usage, fleet vehicles tend to break down frequently and require a vigorous maintenance schedule. Furthermore, you’ll also have to figure in the cost of auto insurance and fuel. Fleet replacement services are a smart alternative because you’ll only pay one predictable fee, and because that fee will be lower than the cost of running your own fleet.
Tighten Up Your Workforce
Another major expense that goes along with having your own fleet of vehicles is the workers you must hire to drive those vehicles. You’ll need to pay to conduct background screening, and you’ll have to pay to train and manage the drivers. Plus, you’ll have payroll, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, and similar expenses. Fleet replacement services are an ideal alternative because you won’t have to worry about hiring, training, or paying drivers. All of the drivers are professionals who are thoroughly screened and trained by the logistics company.
