Fleet Advantage, a leading innovator in specialty financing, fleet data analytics, asset performance services and life cycle cost management, announced it concluded its most successful first quarter for Lease Originations in company history during its Fiscal First Quarter ending September 30. This achievement is driven by the continued delivery of critical economic value to its portfolio of corporate transportation fleets. The company’s performance highlights its ability to help clients navigate a difficult and uncertain economic environment defined by tariff-driven unpredictable costs, supply chain complexities and fluctuating regulatory pressures. 

Navigating Economic Headwinds with Data and Expertise 

The company’s first quarter saw a continued challenging landscape for the entire transportation industry. Faced with economic uncertainty and the complexities of global trade, organizations with transportation fleets required a new level of strategic partnership to maintain profitability, operational efficiency, and confidence in their future procurement strategies. 

Fleet Advantage’s unique approach—a powerful combination of award-winning advanced data analytics tools and the deep human expertise of its dedicated team—proved instrumental. By leveraging innovative flexible financing programs and value-added services, the company helped clients proactively address several key challenges during its first quarter, including: 

• Proactive Planning: The continued rollout of a Tariff-readiness plan to mitigate global trade impacts. 

• Cost Reduction: Strategically analyzing truck life cycle data to identify the optimal time to replace aging assets, resulting in substantial total cost of ownership (TCO) reductions. 

• Unbundling Solution: Leveraged its new Unbundled FSL solution to drive flexibility and drive competitive finance options. 

• Safety and Compliance: Improved safety records and elevated Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) scores through its TRUST Safety Index focus. 

Portfolio Growth and Elevated Performance 

Fleet Advantage's commitment to innovation and client success fueled significant portfolio expansion. The company now manages over $3.7 billion in assets, a testament to its trusted partnerships and ability to deliver tangible results. 

A key highlight of the quarter was the effectiveness of its latest innovative data resource, driven by its award-winning TCO stack. The Truck Reliability and Usage Safety Tracker (TRUST), an advanced data resource, was a major addition. Unveiled at the National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Annual Conference and Exhibition, the new Safety Index gives organizations with transportation fleets a powerful way to: 

• Benchmark their safety scores against industry standards. 

• Access detailed fleet-specific KPIs to improve operations. 

• Elevate their overall CSA scores through targeted recommendations. 

This focus on safety is paramount, as demonstrated by the company’s clients and their fleets, which boast a remarkable 98% of trucks with advanced safety features, and the addition of multiple new safety features to new equipment orders. 

A People-First Culture of Dedication 

Fleet Advantage’s success in the first quarter continued to be centered around its dedicated and passionate employees. In an industry where personal relationships and deep expertise matter, the company’s team continued to act as a true extension of its clients' operations. Their ability to deliver customized solutions and strategic counsel was a critical differentiator, ensuring each client received a level of service and partnership that goes beyond simple transactions.  

“This has been a pivotal quarter for our company and our clients,” said Brian Holland, President and CEO of Fleet Advantage. “By focusing on our core strengths—leveraging cutting-edge data analytics, providing flexible financing, and relying on the unparalleled expertise of our committed team—we have empowered corporate transportation fleets to not only survive but thrive amidst economic uncertainty. We are incredibly proud of our team's dedication and look forward to continuing to lead the industry in providing innovative, data-driven solutions that prepare our clients for the future.”
