- Vehicle & Asset Management: Maintain vehicle records and DVIRs in Fleetio; ensure proper decals, permits, and routine maintenance compliance.
- Multi-State Titling & Registration: Manage fleet-wide titling, plate renewals, and registrations with state DMVs.
- Claims Management: Handle vehicle insurance claims from initial report through resolution.
