Nashville is calling.

Next week, I will be at the American Trucking Associations' Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) of American Trucking Associations, Inc. Annual Meeting in Nashville for TMC 2026, and if you are attending, I would enjoy the chance to connect in person.

Our team at Kooner Fleet Management Solutions will be at Booth 1745, talking with fleet leaders about one simple goal. Keeping trucks moving and drivers productive by reducing downtime in the field.

Mobile maintenance continues to change how fleets think about uptime. When the technician comes to the truck, instead of the truck sitting in line at a shop, the entire equation around productivity, scheduling, and preventative maintenance starts to shift.

If you will be in Nashville, stop by the booth and say hello. I always enjoy hearing how fleets are tackling maintenance strategy, technician shortages, and the constant push to keep equipment on the road.

If you prefer a conversation outside the show floor, even better. We can grab:

• Hot chicken at Hattie B's Hot Chicken near Vanderbilt, not the Broadway location overflowing with tourists.
• Coffee at Biscuit Love in the Gulch, ideally with a side of their famous Chronic Bacon.
• Or a social cocktail somewhere with a respectable pour of Tennessee whiskey.

Good conversations tend to happen around good food and a strong cup of coffee.

If you are heading to TMC, send me a note and let’s find a few minutes to connect.

See you in Nashville.

Your pipeline is lying to you, and most salespeople know it deep down.

We keep “opportunities” alive because they feel good. Every 60 days, you get to call. They answer. They are polite. They tell you they are interested. They say they just are not ready yet and ask you to check back in a month or two. That is not a qualified prospect. That is a tire kicker, and the false sense of progress is dangerous.

The trap is subtle. The account sits in your CRM. It shows movement and activity. You log calls. You forecast it for a future quarter. In pipeline meetings, you can point to it and say the relationship is warm. Activity creates comfort. Comfort lowers urgency. You start to believe your pipeline is healthier than it actually is, and that belief robs you of the hunger required to go find real revenue.

A real opportunity has tension. There is a defined problem. There is a budget, or at least a path to funding. There is a decision process. There is a timeline. There are consequences for doing nothing. If none of that exists, you are nurturing a conversation, not advancing a deal. Conversations do not pay commissions. Closed business does.

I have seen reps carry pipelines that were four or five times their quota and still miss their number. When we dug in, half the “deals” had no next meeting scheduled, no access to the economic buyer, and no clear decision date. 

They were friendly check-ins dressed up as opportunities. On paper, the forecast looked strong. In reality, it was hollow.

If you want clarity, run a simple test:

1) Remove any opportunity that does not have a committed next step on the calendar.
2) Remove any deal without a defined decision date.
3) Remove any account where you have not confirmed who actually signs the agreement.
4) Remove any situation where the prospect feels no pain if they wait another six months.

Now, look at what remains and ask yourself if you would confidently bet your quarter on that list. Better yet, ask yourself if your prospect would agree with your forecasted close date and sales stage.

Brutal honesty shrinks your pipeline in the short term. It also sharpens your focus. When you see the real gap between your number and your true opportunities, you feel urgency again. That urgency drives prospecting. Prospecting fills your pipeline with buyers who have problems they need solved now, not someday.

If you cut 30 percent of your pipeline today, what would happen?

Would you defend those names out of habit, or would you admit they were never real?

The reps and leaders who win consistently choose clarity over comfort. They would rather face a small, real pipeline than hide behind a large, imaginary one.

Preventative maintenance is not a maintenance strategy. It is a business strategy.

For heavy truck fleets, downtime rarely shows up as a single dramatic event. 

It shows up as missed deliveries, idle crews, overtime labor, rental units, customer frustration, and margin erosion that compounds over time. I have seen fleets spend more energy reacting to breakdowns than building systems to prevent them, and that reactive posture always costs more than leaders expect.

Preventative maintenance done right is disciplined, scheduled, tracked, and enforced. It aligns shop capacity, mobile support, parts availability, and driver accountability. It creates visibility into recurring failure points so you can correct root causes instead of repeatedly paying for symptoms. When PM is treated as an operational priority, it shifts the conversation from repair expense to asset performance.

Here is what strong preventative maintenance execution delivers:

- Higher asset uptime
- More predictable labor and parts spend
- Fewer roadside events and safety exposures
- Stronger resale value and lifecycle control

Fleet managers and construction leaders who win in this environment treat maintenance as a production function. Every truck is a revenue generating asset. Every hour down is lost opportunity. When PM intervals slip, inspections get rushed, or accountability fades, risk moves quietly into your operation.

The question is simple. Are you managing breakdowns, or are you managing performance?

If uptime, margin protection, and field productivity matter to your business, audit your preventative maintenance program with the same rigor you apply to safety and financial controls. The results will show up on your P and L faster than most initiatives you can launch this year.

Love seeing this!

Bryant is in Nashville this week representing Kooner Fleet Management Solutions at the Tennessee Trucking Association event, talking safety culture, uptime, and operational performance. If you know Bryant, you know he does not just show up. He listens. He asks smart questions. He brings real field perspective back to our customers.

Our mobile service technicians are already everywhere. They are in yards, at job sites, on the side of highways, in distribution centers, and behind warehouses across the country, keeping fleets moving. Now the sales team is just trying to keep up with the travel schedule! ;-)

Safety culture is not a slogan. It drives uptime, protects margin, reduces risk exposure, and builds long-term performance.

When you combine strong safety practices with responsive mobile maintenance, you give fleet leaders something they actually care about. 

Predictability.
Fewer surprises.
Fewer phone calls at 2 AM.

Proud of Bryant for being on the ground in Nashville and representing our team the right way.

If you are attending and want to compare notes on keeping your fleet productive and safe, connect with him while he is there.

It is an important position inside a company that is scaling quickly across North America and supporting fleets that depend on reliable maintenance and compliance support.

I am not the hiring manager for this position, but I work closely with the Kooner team and strongly recommend this opportunity for anyone in the Sacramento region who has experience with fleet operations, maintenance compliance, or transportation regulations.

Take a look at the role here:

Fleet Compliance Coordinator (1912) - Kooner Fleet Management Solutions

Good to put a face to the name.

That’s what makes events like American Trucking Associations TMC worth it.

You can talk strategy over Zoom all day.

You can email back and forth for weeks.

Nothing replaces being on the ground with operators, technicians, and fleet leaders who are dealing with this every single day.

The conversations this week have been consistent.

•	Uptime is everything
•	Technician shortages are real
•	Speed and responsiveness are no longer optional

Fleets are being asked to do more, with less margin for error.

That’s where the model has to evolve.

Being in Nashville, having these conversations in real time, and showing how we execute in the field, that’s what matters.

If you’re here at TMC, stop by Booth 1745 and meet the team with Kooner Fleet Management Solutions  

If you’re not, let’s connect and compare notes.

There’s nothing like being on the ground with the people who keep this industry moving.

At the American Trucking Associations' Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) of American Trucking Associations, Inc. Conference in Nashville, our team is connecting with fleet leaders and partners from across the country.

From conversations around uptime and technician shortages to the growing role of mobile maintenance and last mile support, one thing is clear: fleets are under more pressure than ever to stay efficient, responsive, and ready for anything.

That’s exactly where we focus.

At Kooner Fleet Management Solutions, we’re building solutions that meet fleets where they are on-site, in the field, and at the last mile, so they can keep vehicles moving and operations running without disruption.

Check us out at Booth # 1745!

Construction projects rarely fall behind because of a bad Gantt chart. They fall behind because something in the field breaks.

In this new article for ForConstructionPros, Kooner Fleet Management Solutions' COO Michael Quimby lays out a reality that every construction fleet leader understands. Preventative maintenance is not a line item. It is a control system for productivity, safety, and margin.

When a truck or piece of equipment goes down unexpectedly, the impact multiplies fast.

Crews sit idle. Schedules shift. Rental costs rise. Overtime increases. Customer confidence erodes.

Preventative maintenance changes that equation by reducing unplanned downtime, stabilizing project timelines, protecting your technicians and operators, and giving leadership predictability around cost and performance.

The fleets that treat maintenance as strategy, not repair, win on jobsite reliability.

If you are accountable for keeping vehicles, equipment, and crews moving, this article is worth your time.

What keeps construction projects on schedule isn’t just planning, it’s reliability in the field.

In a new bylined article for ForConstructionPros, Michael Quimby, COO of Kooner Fleet Management Solutions, breaks down why preventative maintenance is one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) drivers of productivity, safety, and cost control across construction fleets.

From reducing unplanned downtime to protecting crews and stabilizing project timelines, disciplined maintenance is a strategic advantage on the jobsite.

Preventative Maintenance Strategies That Protect Construction Fleet Productivity

Trade shows in the trucking and fleet world still matter because they bring the people responsible for uptime, safety, and operational performance into the same room to talk about what is actually happening in the field. That is exactly why the American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) continues to be one of the most important gatherings in our industry each year.

In just over a week, our team will be in Nashville for TMC 2026, and it is always a great opportunity to step out of the day-to-day grind and spend time with fleet leaders who are focused on the same challenges we see across the country every day.

- Fleet uptime.
- Technician shortages.
- Smarter preventative maintenance strategies.
- How technology and AI will shape the next generation of fleet operations.

The conversations at TMC are practical. Fleet managers, maintenance leaders, and operations executives share what is working, what is not, and where the industry is headed next.

If you will be at the show, stop by Booth 1745 and spend a few minutes with the Kooner team. We always enjoy connecting with operators who are serious about keeping their trucks moving and their operations running efficiently.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Nashville.

Great conversation with Nathan Chaney on the Supply Chaney podcast.
Nathan framed the episode around a simple idea that I have believed for a long time.

Selling is helping.

If you focus on solving real problems for customers, sales becomes a natural outcome of the value you deliver.

During the conversation, we talked about lessons from more than two decades in sales leadership. I shared a few stories from my time at Enterprise Rent-A-Car and the 22-year run at WEX, where I had the opportunity to watch a company grow from just over 100 employees to thousands of people operating across the globe.

Growth at that scale teaches you a few things:

People drive performance.
Culture drives consistency.
Process drives repeatable results.

We also spent time talking about the predictive sales model I use with teams. Instead of forcing everyone into the same activity quotas, the goal is to understand what actually drives performance for each individual seller and build around those strengths.

I also shared why I am excited about what we are building at Kooner Fleet Management Solutions.

Mobile maintenance is changing the way fleets manage uptime. Technology like FleetIQ is bringing visibility into work orders, dispatch, and asset health. Preventative maintenance is becoming more data-driven. Fleet operators are demanding partners who can move as fast as their operations.

It was a great discussion about leadership, sales, fleet technology, and where the industry is heading.

If you work in transportation, supply chain, or fleet operations, this episode is worth the listen.

Selling is helping!

In this episode of the Supply Chaney podcast, we speak with Bill Cooper, VP of Sales at Kooner Fleet Management Solutions. We explore Bill’s career journey from Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s management training program through his 22 year tenure at WEX, where he helped scale the company from just over 100 employees to more than 3,800 across 18 countries. The conversation dives into leadership lessons shaped by Bill’s upbringing with a drill sergeant father, the evolution of modern sales, and his innovative predictive sales model that focuses on individual performance drivers rather than rigid activity mandates. Bill also shares insight into Kooner’s nationwide mobile fleet maintenance model, the growing role of technology in preventative maintenance, and what autonomous and electric trucks could mean for the future of fleet management.
