FAQs

Do you provide training?
Fleet Enterprises provides a training and support program to help you every step of the way. We provide training on our proprietary online support tools, operational procedures, sales and marketing, and we offer on-going field training.
One of our Business Development Managers (BDMs) will work with you in your area to show you how to establish a solid base of regular customers. After initial training, a BDM will always advise you by phone, direct connect, or email whenever you need guidance.

Do you offer financing?
Fleet Enterprises does not offer any direct financing but we can recommend third party financing options for you. We have arrangements with vehicle leasing companies with options available to individuals with good credit in many cases.

What kind of support will I receive?
Our established franchise system provides franchisees with an operating system developed through decades of industry experience.

Billing and Receivables Support System: Invoicing and collecting money is a reality in all businesses. It is one of the factors that slow down business growth. As a Fleet Enterprises Franchisee, you benefit from our system of collecting on your invoices so that you can focus your efforts on developing your market and repairing trailers.

Cash Flow Assistance Program: Starting a business is challenging enough without the worry of collecting money from your accounts to meet your expenses. With our cash flow assistance program, you can receive a check from us in ten days or less, every week, on services that you have rendered regardless of whether we have collected from the accounts.

Account Protection Network: Both our name and reputation are at stake. That is why our Franchise Support Center staff routinely contacts all our customers to ensure customer satisfaction. We take the hassle out of staying in contact with your customers, for your benefit and ours.

Do I need a Commercial Driver’s License or CDL?
No, you do not.

Will I receive a protected territory?
Yes. As a Fleet Enterprises Franchisee, you will receive a designated territory delineated by mileage and population base. At Fleet Enterprises, you really will own your own piece of the highway.
