Negotiations

Negotiation is more than just picking up the phone and asking for a price on a vehicle or piece of equipment. Negotiation is about using effective skills derived from experience to get what you need, when you need it, at a favorable price. With DWS Fleet Management Services, 37 years of experience negotiating in excess of 10,500 pieces of equipment and the support of those vehicles, is at your command. This experience can be brought to bear on your company’s behalf to negotiate effectively for vehicles, maintenance software, accounting and operational packages as well as business and labor contracts. There is more to purchasing than the price of the equipment. There are warranty packages, to buy or not to buy and when. There are verbal and written assumptions of purchases that can become vague after the ink is dry. There is a very important process in the preparation, presentations and negotiations, the paper pilot and then the inspection of the vehicle to ensure that what you thought you were getting you actually receive upon delivery. With the “Limited Time Executive” services provided by DWS Fleet Management, the art of negotiation is yours to use and benefit from.

ECM Downloads

Today’s diesel trucks have a “black box” (Electronic Control Module) to control the fuel and monitor electronic sensors on these engines. The information from the on-road ECM can provide some of the following stored data: Vehicle Speed, Hard Braking Events, Vehicle Top Speed Setting, Use of Cruise Control, Vehicle Monthly Activity. Experience performing this extraction with special software so that it doesn't reset the data is critical. This is important to the vehicle owner, legal departments and authorities. Our organization is affiliated with the ECM Team which has been trained and certified by Detroit Diesel as well as other manufactures to download, analyze, and provide ECM data. The best solution for potential legal strategy may be a certified independent third party which is something our team can offer. The ECM Team.
