Fast-Growing Construction Business Outsources Fleet Program and Saves

BACKGROUND

Location: Wilson, NC

Industry: General Contractor

Total vehicles: 504 vehicles

THE CHALLENGE

S.T. Wooten’s rapid growth and fleet expansion to nearly 500 vehicles made it increasingly difficult to manage maintenance in-house. To keep up, the company approved expensive rush orders with local mechanics but still experienced service backlogs, project delays, and mounting frustration among mechanics and drivers.

The Solution

Enterprise Fleet Management took over full maintenance of S.T. Wooten’s light-duty vehicles, utilizing its vast network of service suppliers and freeing the company’s mechanics to focus on heavy-duty equipment. Additionally, Enterprise’s Client Strategy Manager implemented a proactive plan to replace fleet vehicles every 150,000 miles, reducing downtime and costs.

THE RESULTS

Enterprise Fleet Management’s plan helped S.T. Wooten optimize vehicle replacement timing, saving at least $3,000 per vehicle. Initial positive outcomes prompted the company to replace vehicles even sooner, at 100,000 miles, and reinvest in a newer fleet with technologies and features that boosted driver morale. With access to Enterprise Fleet Management’s vast network of more than 80,000 service providers nationwide, S.T. Wooten now maintains its fleet seamlessly across locations, minimizing downtime.

Partnering with Enterprise Fleet Management has saved us a lot of time and money, freeing up our Equipment Division to focus on our core business. Now, our employees drive more reliable vehicles, and we have a smoother process for purchasing and maintaining light fleet vehicles. Enterprise has done a wonderful job helping us manage our fleet and I can’t imagine what it would be like if we didn’t partner with them.
