True North was proud to attend and be a part of the Black Fleet Network event this past month in Austin, TX. Bill Pugh is a peer advisory member of this great organization, a national nonprofit advancing equity and leadership in fleet, mobility, and sustainability.

So, what does Bill’s shoe collection have to do with fleet management? Pretty simple if you ask me, nothing! Actually, that’s a joke…everything! You see, Bill didn’t just wake up one day to find 999 pairs of shoes under the Christmas tree…the collection started 20 years ago.
He cleans them regularly, in fact he has a “Preventive Maintenance Schedule” for his shoes with very specific products which he performs on defined intervals. How is that for a similarity to fleet management? Pretty good huh!
Ok, let’s get to the point, the key take away is this: if you are looking to achieve something
significant overnight, play the lottery…and good luck. If you want to take a chance on something a little more practical, start building your foundation towards that significant achievement brick by brick, #perseverance.
