In this keynote from Connect 2025, Tony Yankovich breaks down why fleet right-sizing is no longer just about vehicle counts. Discover how aligning your workload, workforce, and workplace can transform your fleet operation.
"Fleet management isn’t about vehicle counts—it’s about aligning your people, your processes, and your places. Get that wrong, and your whole operation wobbles."
In this powerful keynote from RTA’s Connect 2025 conference, veteran fleet consultant Tony Yankovich challenges the outdated notion of fleet right-sizing as merely reducing the number of vehicles. Drawing from over 30 years in the industry, Tony walks the audience through the evolution of fleet optimization from a data-driven numbers game into a holistic, operations-focused strategy. He introduces a new model of right-sizing that integrates three essential pillars: workload, workforce, and workplace.
By the end of the session, Tony arms fleet managers with actionable insights on how to build resilient, efficient, and future-ready operations—whether you manage your own shop or outsource maintenance.
