Truck Fleet Management, a magazine run by Transport Topics Publishing Group to cover work trucks and other medium-duty vehicles, has been sold to Bobit Business Media.

Truck Fleet Management 鈥 previously named Light & Medium Truck 鈥 and predecessor P&D (targeted at pickup-and-delivery operators) covered issues relevant to vocational, municipal and construction fleets. That coverage was made available through a monthly magazine, website, weekly digital newsletter and periodic e-mail news alerts.
鈥淲e鈥檙e excited to add the Truck Fleet Management audience to Bobit鈥檚 stable,鈥 said Sherb Brown, Bobit鈥檚 vice president and group publisher. The company owns a number of other trucking- and transportation-focused publications and websites.
TTPG also produces Transport Topics, which is not included in the sale.
