Aim Transportation Solutions recently held its highly anticipated Annual Maintenance Meeting, bringing together Aim’s maintenance leadership team, along with leaders from across several of Aim’s departments and divisions, including Aim President, Scott Fleming, as well as representatives from the industry’s most recognizable OEMs. This yearly event serves as a cornerstone for Aim’s commitment to maintaining its leading brand of fleet maintenance.

This year’s Annual Maintenance Meeting kicked off on October 16 in Cleveland, OH. Being held in the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, the theme of this year’s event was “Rock On.” However, that simple two-word tagline is more than just a nod to the location of this year’s meeting. It also conveys Aim’s unrelenting drive to uphold Aim’s superior fleet maintenance services.

Aim Transportation Solutions is proud to announce that Matt Svancara, Chief Operating Officer, Aim Leasing Company, has been appointed to the NationaLease Board of Directors, one of the largest full-service truck leasing organizations in North America.

This appointment shows Svancara’s proven leadership ability, deep industry expertise, and more than three decades of unwavering commitment to the transportation industry.

As a member of the board, Svancara will collaborate with other industry experts to guide the strategic direction of NationaLease and help to shape the future of the commercial truck leasing industry. His extensive experience in sales, customer relations, and operational management will offer valuable insights as NationaLease continues to expand its offerings and provide top-tier services to its network of independent leasing companies.

Aim Transportation Solutions is thrilled to announce, for the second year in a row, it has been named one of Newsweek’s Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®. This highly sought-after honor recognizes and celebrates companies that cultivate a positive, supportive, and inclusive workplace where employees feel valued and appreciated.

As climate change concerns continue to grow in the U.S. (and globally), states, lawmakers and stakeholders are pushing for stricter emission regulations to reduce the carbon footprint of heavy-duty vehicles.

In recent years, emission regulations for the trucking industry have tightened significantly with more changes coming. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have implemented strict standards aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).

For example, the EPA’s Phase 2 GHG Emissions Standards, which took effect in 2021, mandated that manufacturers improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions from new trucks.  GHG Phase 3 will begin impacting all states beginning in 2027. 

A key player in the U.S. regulatory landscape is the California Air Resources Board (CARB). CARB has long been at the forefront of environmental regulation and has set some of the most stringent standards for vehicle emissions in the country. The Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation, introduced by CARB, requires manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission trucks, with a goal of 100% zero-emission truck sales by 2045.

In July, Aim’s Vice President of Sales, Joe Telega, and the sales leadership team hosted two key sales conferences. These annual meetings provide a valuable platform for our teams to come together and collaboratively review year-to-date performance, refine sales techniques, and strategize for a strong finish to the year through deep discussion and interaction.
