Mike Albert Fleet Solution

““I call Mike Albert and say ‘I need a vehicle and I need it yesterday.’ They’re calm and get it done. The whole team is really good at jumping into action.””

“Mike Albert Fleet Solutions laid out a plan that included major improvements to our service truck design and provided processes, data and insights that would allow us to gain complete control over one of our top 3 expense categories while increasing available capital by over $4MM.”

“There’s a lot of things that go on in our day here. Whether it’s managing customer demands, or making sure that trucks are getting loaded properly and heading down the road with their permits, and so on. This is one aspect of our business we don’t have to spend lots of energy fussing about.”

“Oftentimes vehicles get switched from division to division. One of our vehicles came from Utah. With the whole transfer process of getting this vehicle from one plant to the other was handled seamlessly. The next thing I knew, our logistics team was working with Mike Albert to coordinate the details of getting that vehicle here.”

“One thing we really like about Mike Albert – it’s taken a variable cost and made it more or less a fixed cost. We now know what our cost is related to company vehicles month in and month out. That helps us plan.”

“If you start to have an issue with a truck, you just call Mike Albert and they’ll set up an appointment for you. They take care of all the maintenance. Personally, it simplifies my life a tremendous amount.”

“We have worked with Mike Albert Fleet Solutions for over four years, and are thrilled with the work carried out so far. As one of the top landscape service companies in North America, we rely heavily on our fleet to service and delight our customers. Mike Albert Fleet Solutions understands the high standards that our company has, and serves us as well as we would serve any of our clients. When it came time to select our fleet partner, we decided that we didn’t need the biggest partner, they just had to be the best.”

““We don’t have to do oil changes. We don’t have to do hardly any maintenance on the vehicles,” Kauffman said. “All you have to do is keep it charged and get windshield wiper fluid. It’s much easier and much faster to work on these vehicles.””

““Mike Albert was extremely flexible when helping us not only organize the finances of [switching to EVs], but also to locate all the vehicles that we needed,” he said.”

“Mike Albert’s help with our general fleet management and modernization has been so valuable. They’re hyper-focused on our partnership and always ask what else they can do to make our fleet more successful, including thinking outside the box to serve our needs. We work as a team, and I know I can always reach someone at Mike Albert to fix an issue or even ask a question.”

“We've been with Mike Albert for six years now, and we've developed a really good back-and-forth rapport,” Lucia says. “I pride myself on honesty and telling it like it is, and I have high expectations. I appreciate their honesty and expertise.”

““Mike Albert’s help with our general fleet management and modernization has been so valuable,” says Nelson. “They’re hyper-focused on our partnership and always ask what else they can do to make our fleet more successful, including thinking outside the box to serve our needs. We work as a team, and I know I can always reach someone at Mike Albert to fix an issue or even ask a question.””

““While leasing is a common option in the fleet management industry, it wasn’t the right fit for us,” said Nelson. “Mike Albert understood our perspective, and worked with us to offer an alternative solution. This unique approach allowed us to optimize our fleet without the constraints of traditional leasing.””

““Mike Albert knows how to communicate to drivers in a way that makes them more comfortable with in-cab cameras and other tracking technologies,” says Nelson.”

““The Mike Albert team didn’t just propose solutions from on high,” says Nelson. “They involved our leadership team, branch management, and, critically, drivers. Everyone was kept in the loop as new solutions and technologies were rolled out, which made for a smooth transition.””

““We wanted a true partnership, not just a name on the ledger,” Nelson says. “Mike Albert took the time to understand where we were, where we’re going, and, just as importantly, what we could do to manage our fleet better now.””

““We had these vans breaking down constantly, so I was putting more money in—two, three thousand dollars a month—just to keep them going.””

““At the end of our meeting I was like, ‘Wow, okay, we’re definitely doing this,’” Riekstins recalled from his initial meeting with Jason Henning, Director, Sales & Strategic Markets at Mike Albert Fleet Solutions. “Jason wanted to know about our challenges. He wanted to know about our issues. He wanted to see the vehicles that we were using. He was very geared to getting us to a place where we could really think about our challenges and the potential ways of overcoming them. And he didn’t just pretend to have the answers, he went back and did the research and talked to people.””

““Mike Albert has been a great partner. Their fleet management program is simple and effective, and they help with everything, from registration to maintenance to getting us trucks whenever and wherever we need them. It’s been a good partnership for the past 7 years, and that’s why we happily continue working with them.””

“There are several challenges and tasks involved in managing 200+ vehicles. But with the help of Mike Albert it seems effortless. Working with them has given us more time to focus on important business goals, like making more sales.”

“The kind of attention to detail Mike Albert gives us has been crucial. They’re truly dedicated to helping us become smarter and more profitable. They’ve enabled us to rein in our fleet costs and make better, well-informed decisions about things like when to sell and replace vehicles, so we’re not throwing good money after bad. They continue to bring us good ideas that help us shape a strategy moving forward that ensures our fleet stays on course with our business growth.”

“Now, if something goes wrong or needs service, there’s an easy, well-planned process in place. Mike Albert immediately notifies us if the quoted price for a service or repair hits our dollar threshold and gives us their expert recommendation on what to do. So now we don't feel like we're getting taken advantage of, like we did before, and we don’t waste lots of money on vehicles that aren't worth it.”

“We had to deliberate whether or not the recommended repair was necessary, if it was the right fix, if the price was fair and if the vehicle was worth the cost of the repair. Meanwhile the technician was left without a vehicle, losing valuable time on the job.”

“We didn’t have business deals negotiated with any auto shops for regular maintenance or repairs. So we were pretty much at the mercy of the shops our technicians ended up at, especially after a vehicle breakdown.”

“Mike Albert took great care of us when implementing the toll system, answering calls day and night and showing real attention to detail. Mike Albert, just like us, values the customer experience and maintaining those relationships and making sure the customer gets what they need to be successful. The fit with Mike Albert was perfect. And we still feel that way today.”
