Best Fleet Management Tools for Small Operators?
Key topics
Managing 10–20 vehicles isn’t easy. Between inspections, maintenance schedules, compliance paperwork, and spare parts, it often feels overwhelming.
I used to rely on manual tracking, but it wasn’t sustainable. Now I use Fleetrabbit (fleetrabbit.com) — it covers inspections, reminders, GPS/fuel integration, and more. It’s been a big help.
I’m curious:
What tools or methods are you using to manage your fleet?
Do you prefer paid software, custom-built solutions, or open-source options?
What’s the one feature you couldn’t live without?
Would love to compare approaches and see what’s working best for others.
The author seeks feedback on fleet management tools for small operators, sharing their positive experience with Fleetrabbit and asking about others' preferred methods and essential features.
