Driveitaway's Founder Puts Fingers to Keyboard to Rev Up Automotive Industry Blogosphere

20-Year Automotive Industry Player John Possumato says Fleet-ing Thoughts will reflect on industry trends and his week-to-week experiences

CHICAGO, Dec. 6 -- John Possumato, founder and vice chairman of Driveitaway, Inc., the pioneer in upstream remarketing programs for commercial fleet vehicles, has carved out a piece of the Web's blogosphere. With 20 years' experience behind him, Possumato will share his insights on the day-to-day world of the automotive industry in a new blog launched today which will focus on the substantial but sometimes overlooked world of corporate fleet and vehicle remarketing.

"While commercial fleet sales account for one out of every four or five vehicles produced by the Detroit manufacturers over the last 20 years, I couldn't find a blog that focused on the fleet industry and its impact on consumers," says Possumato. "I hope this blog helps fill the information gap and adds a little value to the daily reading. I look forward to the conversation."
