The expansion of e-commerce, which has been particularly stimulated through COVID-19, will likely continue as many other people have not only become accustomed to placing online orders, but are now profiting from it. E-commerce is based on the immediate delivery of goods to consumers and has led to the structure of more warehouses and distribution centers. This has had an effect on the trucking industry, as we have noticed a shift towards more fleets in regional transport operations.
NACFE has done the task of seeking to perceive the complexities of regional transport and one of the things we have learned from our paintings is that regional transport is a market that makes sense for the deployment of electric battery cars. The good news is that we are seeing a big investment in existing truck brands, as well as some new corporations that are running to discharge battery-powered electric cars in the process of progression, in testing and, ultimately, in specific cargo operations.
However, electric battery cars on the road are a little more confusing than just building them. Fleets have to figure out how they’re going to qualify them and that’s where things can get more confusing.
Step One in our Charging Procurement Roadmap – it came out as part of our guidance report on charging infrastructure – is engaging the utility. Sounds easy enough, but the reality is that it can be difficult to find the right person to speak with at the utility, and be prepared to first be shuttled off to the person who handles electric power for home EV charges. Also be prepared for the fact that you may have to work with several different utilities depending on the areas in which you need coverage.
When you are the right person, be prepared to communicate the following:
Although we have published several policy reports on the facets of electric trucks, we have also recently published brief introductory pages of two pages each. One is for fleets and the other for utilities.
Widespread deployment of battery electric cars will only occur if fleets and utilities combine to position mandatory charging infrastructure and can paints in combination so fleets can benefit from reliable charging.

Making paintings of painters remotely adds demanding situations to managers. Establishing normal lines of communication will keep painters and managers focused on their responsibilities and be productive in the home paint environment.
Controlling people is the most complicated component of a job. And even if the manager has received formal training, the maximum concentration in control when the manager and the worker are face to face.
COVID-19 has replaced the surrounding paintings so that other people now run from home; however, these painters still want to be handled.
I came here through an engaging article on achieving the commitment written through Jody Ordioni. It presented a recommendation on how to manage staff remotely to inspire worker engagement.
Your first suggestion to identify a daily posting formula with the other people you monitor. It makes a lot of sense to me. Chances are, when a manager and a worker were in the same office, they had daily contacts. This made it easier for workers to ask questions and express their considerations. While running remotely, a worker would possibly hesitate to call their manager if he or she has any concerns. A record, individual or team, allows workers to express their considerations and ask questions.
It is a good idea to include some time for social interaction in these regular check-in calls. Allow employees to make small talk or share things from their personal lives at the beginning of the meeting. One good technique I have seen some managers use is to have each person in the meeting talk about one good thing that happened in their personal life and one win from their professional life that occurred since the group last got together.
Make sure your employees have the technology they need including access to video calling apps. Ordioni reminds us that being able to see your employees can give visual cues as to how they are doing. Body language is a great way to tell how an employee is really feeling and tells a fuller story than what you get from just hearing their voice.
Make sure you have transparent participation regulations, not only for the frequency and schedule of your normal meetings, but also for more urgent matters. Employees are comfortable communicating with a manager on the occasion of a major challenge or emergency. Also, if you feel a worker is under pressure through a task, it’s general to ask how you’re doing and if you want help with the task or just to let them know how to deal with the challenges.
