Brandon A. Sohl Barrington, IL
I joined NAFA in 1981 as Vice President of Auto Driveaway Company. At that time a majority of our customers were corporate fleet managers. During this period most corporate fleet managers bought their vehicles, ran the daily fleet operations, and disposed of their vehicles. We had direct contact with the fleet managers for the pickup, storage and delivery of their excess vehicles. This was an exciting time of growth for the vehicle fleet business and the NAFA membership was a close-knit group. The national conventions were extremely important for members to visit with fellow fleet managers, vendors, and the auto manufactures sales personnel. Over the years I developed many personal friendships with NAFA members. Since leaving Auto Driveaway in 2005, I have been a mortgage loan officer and now am a licensed insurance agent, but after 25 years of involvement in the fleet management business I still find the industry fascinating.
