From a fleet manager’s perspective, the breakdown of fixed versus variable expenses was extremely valuable. The course clearly separates costs that don’t change from costs that fluctuate and shows how both impact cost per mile.
What I appreciated most is how practical it was — not just definitions, but how to actually track these expenses and use them for decision-making. It helped me improve budgeting, planning, and conversations with ownership around pricing and profitability. Very well structured and easy to apply.

As a fleet owner, fuel is one of my biggest expenses, and this course helped me look at MPG in a much more detailed and practical way. It’s not just about fuel price — it’s about driving habits, routing, idle time, and equipment choices.
The fuel efficiency section alone was worth it. We’ve already started tracking MPG more closely across our trucks and making small changes that add up fast. This course helped connect the dots between fuel consumption and real dollars at the end of the month.
Thank you Ronen for unbelievable information that any owner OPP or Fleet owner should know.
