Clients
We have helped companies all across North America. Our extensive travels have shown us that no two fleets are the same, but that each fleet has something in common that can be improved within their organization. Here is just a small sample of clients that we have worked with.
Bulkley Trucking, LLC: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your help with getting our maintenance department in good running condition. The improvements are astronomical, and the issues that we were having with our trucks when our contract with you began are resolved. I am looking forward to seeing our maintenance department grow and become more accurate and productive, and that is a result of your invaluable counseling." Lawana Hohenberger, Bulkley Trucking
Penske Truck Leasing: "Congratulations on being elected to the Chairmanship of TMC! I am very happy for you, and am glad that your peers have recognized you in this way. You have been a tireless servant of the industry throughout your long career, and you will now have even more positive influence on us from your new position. If anyone can get the message out that we need to treat our technicians as if our own success depended on them, you will. If anyone can assist in creating a track of progress for the next generation of fleet managers, you can." Ralph K. F. Stockmayer, CTP Industry Development Manager Penske Truck Leasing L. P.
Arriba Equipment Services: "There is a Yiddish (Jewish) word for what you did. You are known as a "mench". It means a person who always does the right thing for someone else without anyone telling them to do so. They are far and few between and held in high regard, especially to Jewish people. However, you don't have to be Jewish to be a mench. You just have to be one, and it usually comes naturally. It is a pleasure to know you, Darry." Allan Berger, Vice President
CTI, Cement Transport Inc: "We came to realize that we needed a national-class fleet management experience to put the process in motion." "Darry Stuart of DWS Fleet Management Services hit the ground running and is already producing very good results." "People tend to follow Stuart's lead because when he walks into a room you quickly realize that he knows what he is talking about. He has a unique ability to bring up morale; he has the entire shop singing as they work." "Considering the 2700 miles between Boston and Tucson was a real leap of faith for us to engage DWSFM. We already know that we made an excellent decision, "We have hired the best in the business." - Tom Jones, CFO

Thank you again." - Walt Hanson, Environment Director

This unique quality allows our employees to give total support to the restructuring because they feel a part of the program.” - Beth Franklin, President/Owner
Fleming Leasing: “Your knowledge and
experience were evident and would have struggled without you.
We still benefit from your regular visits and advice. The
concept of having a limit time expert as a part of our team
is unique and effective. We would recommend it to others.”
D. Joe Fleming, Chairman, Dan Fleming, CEO, Kevin Fleming
Digby Transportation: “In a previous
life we contracted DWS Fleet Management Services and I implemented

acquired a new appreciation for the basic “blocking
and tackling” aspects of fleet maintenance that are
required to be successful in this field.” - Ken
Stephenson, COO
Penske Truck Leasing: “I want to thank
you for never giving up on me, you and your style has provided
me the path to rise to this level. I knew what I wanted to
achieve but never had a boss guide and motivate me as you
did. I thank you and Penske, through my promotions, thanks
you.” Ron Stillings, Regional Service Manager
Cargo National Lease: “I have to say
you have a different business attitude than any consultant
I have worked with. In our meetings I generally felt we were
working together as a team, to strategize about the right
choice for your customer, and now my customer.” -
B Sue Beasley, President
Kile Refrigeration: “I did not know
you before and have worked with a number of consultants; as

time now since we worked directly together and wow how much
I rely on your leadership lessons I’ve experienced with
you. Still to this day you return my calls for questions,
advice, counsel and answers for myself and others.”
Penske Truck Leasing: “Accentuating
the positive with the negative is truly an art well learned
and you never stop. I remember brainstorming solutions that
redirected our previous company into the competitive world
economy. As a youngster it made little sense to me. It now
makes sense. The business if I may mimic you is indeed about
personalities. Put a process in place and the numbers will
follow. When difficulties arose, the team was always driven
by the following, why did we fail? What we learned from it?
Let’s proceed with change! No pin the tail on the donkey.
Simply find the solution and have fun doing it.” Ron Stillings, Regional Service Manager
Boston and West Claims Service: "Our
experience with DWS Fleet Management and Darry Stuart is an
expert at what he does. He has a keen insight into the transportation
management and helps us thru the claims process." -
Imre Halmos CCLA, President
Saguaro Leasing/STS Transport: "We
could not have handled this situation with our vehicles if
you had not mediated the situation between our company and
the vehicle manufacturer. We were too close to the situation
and the cloud of emotions kept the finance company and manufacturer
from listening to a compromise without alternative actions."
Mike Norton, President

was done above our expectations and parallel to all you have
done in the US. Again thanks for being a part of TMC Mexico
and hope to see you next year." Carl Kirk, Vice
President Executive Director
