While accurate reporting, insightful data, monitoring and managing cash flow, and developing strategic plans for growth have never been more important, CFOs don’t always receive the critical information they need in a timely manner. Penske Truck Leasing can help CFOs consolidate information, mitigate risk and control costs. Here’s how:
Financial Reporting
Penske’s billing and record-keeping provide easy-to-understand information that can be pulled up with a few clicks of a mouse. This information is particularly useful in the event of an audit or if additional details are needed.
Fixed Costs
Expenses associated with a full-service lease are established in advance, giving CFOs reliable financial information for forecasting. Leasing can also free up capital that companies can use to grow other parts of their business.
Improved Safety
In addition to providing fixed costs that eliminate unknowns, Penske Truck Leasing can further mitigate risk by providing reliable, well-maintained equipment. That reduces the risk of roadside failures, safety violations and crashes caused by underperforming equipment. Penske also offers a range of safety technologies for Class 8 tractors that can further enhance operations and reduce risk.
Regulatory Compliance
Penske Truck Leasing helps companies manage the regulatory compliance aspect of Class 8 trucks. Penske’s maintenance program minimizes the risk of roadside inspection violations and information on maintenance is readily available in the event of a Department of Transportation (DOT) audit. Penske can also assist with licensing, further reducing the regulatory burden on private fleets.
Increased Uptime
Because Penske equipment performs well, fleets experience improved uptime, which minimizes the risk of late deliveries due to equipment failure. If the equipment goes down, Penske can provide a replacement unit, ensuring operations continue as planned.
For many organizations, transportation is not their core focus and utilizing leases not only helps CFOs minimize the amount of time they spend managing and monitoring the transportation side of the business but also gives them access to information and analytics that can help improve operations.
