CAM Webinar 2601: Own vs Lease vs Rent – What’s the Right Mix for Your Fleet?

When: Thursday, January 15, 2026, 1 p.m. ET 
Cost: Free to CAM members / $30 for non-members 

When it comes to keeping your trucks on the road, there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy. Should your company own its fleet, lease it, or rent as needed? The truth is, the best approach might be a combination of all three. Join us this January for an in-depth discussion on how to balance ownership, leasing, and rentals to maximize flexibility, manage costs, and match your operational goals. Our presenter will break down the key factors that influence each option—from financing and credit considerations for startups to long-term maintenance, insurance, and fleet planning. You’ll come away with practical insights to help you make smarter decisions about your rolling stock—no matter the size or stage of your business.

Productivity & Customer Service

• A conversation about the complexities of moving seniors safely.  When older Canadians have to move - either closer to family, to get out of a large multi-level home to a one-level location, or require transitioning to a special care facility, amongst many other scenarios, the preparation for move day can be very stressful and challenging, especially if they have lived in their home for decades. Canadian Association of Movers President Nancy Irvine has a great conversation with CAM Member Brett Ford who specializes in seniors moves.  Discussion includes moving in general, what a mover does, the need for a "quarterback" to help manage the move, moving into long care homes and retirement homes and COVID considerations, and moving scams that target seniors.  Here's a 22-minute video on the complexities of moving seniors safely. This is time well-spent if your customer base includes older Canadians. - April 2, 2022
