About Morra Fleet Solutions
I have dedicated over 20 years to the motorcoach industry. My journey began working as a low-level technician/mechanic, eventually working up through the ranks from the private carrier side then into the manufacturing side of the industry. I have decided to offer my expertise for private/public operators that seek to enhance fleet efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety.
