May 26, 2011 - Ernst & Young
LLP has announced that Fleet Advantage's CEO John Flynn is a finalist in the
"Emerging" category of the company's awards competition, Ernst &
Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2011. The program recognizes
entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such
areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their
businesses and communities.
According to Ernst & Young, Flynn was selected as a finalist from nearly
100 nominations by a panel of independent judges. Florida award
recipients will be announced Thursday, June 16 at the Omni Orlando Resort at
ChampionsGate.
"Our goal is to help private fleet operators of Class 8 trucks achieve a
competitive advantage and lower overall costs through a continuous improvement
model that promotes economic, environmental, and social sustainability,"
said Flynn.
"With the rising cost of fuel and the focus on our environment, fleet
operators are looking for solutions that are both cost effective and
environmentally responsible. Our Clean Air ProgramSM utilizes proprietary
lifecycle management tools, real-time data, and new diesel technology to allow
fleet operators to implement environmentally-friendly solutions that benefit
their employees, their communities, and the environment while saving millions
of dollars," added Flynn.

anniversary this year. The program has expanded to recognize business leaders
