Holman on Rising Costs, Data and the New Fleet Reality
97% of fleet spend is in pass-through costs, yet many organizations remain focused on the remaining 3%.
At @WorkTruckWeek, we caught up with Craig Pierce and Nick Caller from@Holman1924to talk about what fleets are really dealing with right now and where they should be focusing instead.
With rising operating costs, fuel volatility, and constant uncertainty, fleets are under more pressure than ever. But according to Holman, many are still focusing on the wrong areas.
In this conversation, Holman breaks down:
• Why data and actionable insights are more important than ever
• How fleets can shift from reactive to proactive decision-making
• The growing role of safety and insurance costs in fleet strategy
• Why fleets need a true partner, not just a vendor
• How taking a holistic approach across the full lifecycle drives better outcomes
The message is clear. It’s not just about vehicles anymore. It’s about understanding the entire operation and using data to drive smarter decisions across the business.
Watch the full conversation to hear how Holman is helping fleets navigate today’s challenges and find new opportunities.

Work Truck Week 2026 Recap: Truck Caps Took Over, But Are Compact Vans Back?
In this video, we break down the biggest trend from Work Truck Week 2026 and one thing was clear: truck caps are taking over.
From modular truck cap systems to fully upfitted truck builds, manufacturers are doubling down on truck-based solutions as compact vans have faded out of the market.
🔧 What you’ll see in this video:
• The rise of modular truck cap systems across top brands
• New releases from Weather Guard, LEER, Ranger Design, Holman, and more
• Why more fleets are shifting from vans to truck upfits
• Key innovations in modular storage, flexibility, and fleet efficiency
• And the big surprise… RAM bringing back the ProMaster City
For the past few years, the industry has clearly leaned toward trucks. But with compact vans potentially making a return, it raises a bigger question:
👉 Are compact cargo vans coming back or are truck builds here to stay?
If you’re planning your next upfit or just want to stay ahead of where the industry is going, this is a must-watch.
