CCJ does an excellent job of reporting on fleet innovators.
Most of us love the concept of innovation, but implementing change – the real innovation – now, that is the rub.
I have been involved in many trucking industry innovations – water filters to extend cooling system life, turbochargers when 90% of engines were naturally aspirated, fan clutches, and air ride seats. All great ideas, but each took a sales and marketing team to sell them. Unfortunately, the world still does not beat a path to your door unless you are Apple.
CCJ just featured Regional Express Carriers as an Innovator. It is an excellent article, and should be read by every fleet manager in the U.S., but the thing about innovation is that it is always on the cutting edge. If the innovation can be patented, then it might be kept a secret to prevent unscrupulous people from filing for a patent before the original inventor files his patent claim.
