Tell me about a time when you had to handle an emergency situation involving fleet vehicles.

Last year, while working as a Fleet Manager for a logistics company, I encountered a situation where one of our fleet vehicles experienced a sudden breakdown on a major highway. It was a high-stress situation as it was during peak business hours and the vehicle was blocking traffic. I immediately contacted our roadside assistance provider to dispatch a tow truck to the location. Simultaneously, I informed the driver of the vehicle to ensure their safety and directed them to a nearby safe area. After ensuring the driver's safety, I coordinated with our maintenance team to diagnose and repair the issue as quickly as possible. To manage the flow of traffic and minimize disruption, I communicated with the local authorities and provided updates on the situation. Once the vehicle was back on the road, I reviewed the incident to identify any preventative measures that could be implemented in the future.
