Fleet management is overseeing all activities related to fleet vehicles including procurement including leasing, financing, and licensing, inventory management, insurance, maintenance and repairs, fuel management, location tracking, driver management, route management, disposal, compliance with both corporate policies and local and national laws, improving efficiency, and reducing costs.

HOS is an acronym for Hours of Service. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has issued regulations that govern the working hours of anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle in the United States. These regulations include driver restrictions on the number of hours they can operate commercial vehicles, which is what HOS references.

Online mapping and route planning are a subset of route management. Route management is the practice of determining the most efficient paths for vehicles to take to reach their destination factoring in distance, speed, traffic, and other factors.

Fleet management extends vehicle life by ensuring adherence to vehicle maintenance schedules, reducing idle time, and ensuring optimal routes are taken to destinations.
