VMU Structure
Eventually, for a medium-sized office and fleet (6 to 25 vehicles), you’ll probably want a VMU that looks something like this.
The Fleet Manager (FM) does the trip scheduling, planning, maintenance, filing and documentation, VMS management, reporting, managing and reporting on the work of the Head Drivers and/or Mechanics, Drivers (click on positions to find JDs). The FM reports to the Operations Manager, Logistics Manager or Office Manager.
Operations will probably start with just a few drivers and vehicles to manage. Have a general Administration Officer take on the essential roles of the Fleet Manager until the staffing configuration expands.
