Whether you lease a car to get into the latest models or have better purchasing flexibility, getting a good deal is always bound to give you a lift. Use these guidelines to help you spot one:

Check incentives: be on the look-out for factory -subsidized lease deals. Car manufacturers realise that consumers who lease vehicles from them are more likely to be repeat customers than those who simply purchase vehicles. Through their leasing companies, they adjust the residual value and offer low financing charge. Other auto-manufacturers are also starting to give incentives on leasing, called leasing subventions. They offer these subsidies to put slow-selling models on the street, saving you even more money.

Unfortunately, now it seems the over regulation of the Illinois Department of Transportation is just too great for them to do any good.

Some Independent Truck Drivers stated that the Illinois Trucking Association was less than adequate and certainly not worth their money to join. When we asked why we received a myriad of reasons from hours of service rules to the no idling at night rules, when the temperature got down below the teens? They said;

How Do You Upgrade Your Electric Scooter?

Filed under Automotive

Electric Scooters have been around for several decades. In the old days, when you bought an electric scooter, you would be lucky to get eight to ten miles out of a charge and would be thrilled to go as fast as twelve miles per hour. That was then.

Aims – Hit The Loss Prevention Target Every Time

Filed under Automotive

Fleet drivers and maintenance utility crews are constantly experiencing “near misses or incidences where “higher visibility lighting” could have made a significant difference in the outcome. The latest technologies provide back-up – special marker lighting coupled with reflectivity in high traffic volume areas to avoid accidents and protect company assets.

Traditional warning triangles and traffic cones are no longer considered the safest alternatives to mitigate losses as traffic congestion increases in major metropolitan areas. Considering a loss prevention strategy that includes AIMS (Assured Incident Management Solutions) is having a major influence on proactively addressing safety concerns of Fleet Managers and ultimately, creates a highly visible and secure operating environment.
