Welcome back to Fleet Geeks, the podcast for transport managers who want to run safer, smarter and more compliant fleets.

Today’s episode is a little bit different. We’re doing a 2 year review with Barry, who many of our clients will already know well.

Barry plays a crucial role supporting our customers behind the scenes. He helps operators stay on top of their compliance, documentation, and systems, making sure the right processes are in place so businesses stay on the right side of the regulator and avoid unnecessary headaches.

Think of Baz as one of the people quietly keeping the engine of compliance running smoothly for our clients.

So today we’re going to look back over the last 24 months — what he’s been seeing across fleets, the common challenges operators are facing, and some practical lessons transport managers can take away.

Let’s get into it.

The Fleet Geeks Podcast is here to support fleet managers, transport managers, and fleet professionals at every stage of their journey.

Our mission is simple: to develop safer, smarter, and more confident fleet and transport leaders. From operator licence compliance and fleet safety, to leadership, culture, and performance – we bring you practical insight, real-world experience, and conversations that actually help you do the job better.

🚛 If you manage vehicles, drivers, risk, or compliance – this podcast is for you.

What are the 9 motivators and how does it work?

Most leaders think motivation is about money, targets, or pressure… but what if that’s only scratching the surface?

In this episode of Fleet Geeks, we dive into the 9 motivators from Motivational Maps; the real drivers behind why your people do what they do. Because when you understand what truly fuels someone, you stop guessing… and start leading.

If you manage drivers, engineers, or any team where performance matters, this one will help you unlock more energy, better engagement, and fewer headaches.

In this episode of Fleet Geeks, Pete catches up with Pam Meisel for a 12-month review of the work she’s been doing supporting fleet operators and transport managers.

Pam plays a key role helping Flagship Partners’ clients stay organised, compliant and ahead of the regulator by keeping systems, documentation and processes running smoothly behind the scenes.

The conversation also explores Pam’s new DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser) qualification, what it involves, and how it helps operators who transport or handle dangerous goods stay compliant and reduce risk.

If you run a fleet, manage transport operations, or want to understand how strong compliance systems protect your operator’s licence, this episode is packed with practical insight.
