Now that states are beginning to relax COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and allowing some businesses to reopen, HDT wants to hear how this is affecting your fleet.

By participating in our latest survey, your insight helps our readers better understand how solidly the recovery is taking root and how fleets believe things will change in the coming months and beyond. If you've taken one of our COVID-19 surveys before, we encourage you to take it again. Each survey is slightly different as we gauge how things are changing.

In addition, if you're willing to discuss your answers in more detail with one of our editors, there will be an opportunity to share your contact information at the end of the survey.

Otherwise, the survey will be confidential, and your answers will be grouped with the others responding before being summarized and shared with our readers.

As a bonus, after finishing, we will connect you to the results of our previous survey.
