NEW YORK — While the dollar weakened to another low against the euro today, oil prices rose to a record high. Light, sweet crude for April delivery was trading up $1.93 to $103.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile  Exchange, the AP reported. Earlier, the price was as high as $103.95.

The dollar's slump against other world currencies continues to drive up oil prices. Oil futures, bought and sold in dollars, are more attractive to foreign investors when the dollar is falling.

In London, Brent crude futures rose $2.07 to $102.17 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange, the AP reported.

Fleet Becomes an Epicenter for Interdepartmental Encroachment

By Mike Antich
Interdepartmental conflicts are common in the medical and IT industries, and at most companies between sales and operations. However, for many years, fleet existed as a realm of its own. Management in other departments often didn’t fully understand the nuances of fleet management other than they got a new vehicle every 36 months. Fleet managers of that era (not that long ago) were the “kings” and “queens” of their own realms. However, that reality is rapidly changing.

Strategic Fleet Management Focuses on Management by Objective

By Mike Antich
The greatest challenge facing the future of fleet management is how we see ourselves as a profession. Are we administrators of a fleet or are we managers? Do we manage from a tactical level – putting out day-to-day fires – or from a strategic level focusing on specific long-term objectives using metrics to benchmark progress? In the future, you will need a strategic focus to succeed in fleet management; otherwise you run the risk of fading into irrelevancy.
