| A
tribute to the Fleet Manager |
|
|
FleetWatch has
instituted a new practice, where, should we deem fitting, we
attach the ‘FleetWatch Hats Off’ tribute logo to
a story. Our first recipient is Dot Engelbrecht for the
innovative way she has given the Fleet Manager recognition
and also to all fleet managers for the role they play in the
transport industry.
