WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, U.S. , March 29, 2022 — Guardian Fleet Services Inc. announces that Scotty Crockett has been promoted to President from Chief Operating Officer of the specialized towing and transportation company. With this change, Crockett will be able to focus on the future goals and growth of Guardian Fleet Services, the largest commercial towing, recovery, and specialized transportation fleet company in the Southeastern United States.
Geoff Russell, formerly President and CEO, remains CEO of Guardian Fleet Services.
From its’ beginning, Crockett said the plan for Guardian Fleet Services was to continue to grow the business and to be the premier service provider in its’ markets.
“As COO, running the operations of Guardian Fleet Services for the last 5 years has been an honor and a great experience,” Crockett said. “Throughout these years, it has allowed me the opportunity to work with a lot of amazing people with the same passion for the industry and customers that I share.”
He added, “This time has allowed me to surround myself with the best our industry has to offer. In the mix of everything, with Geoff Russell’s guidance and mentorship, I have had the opportunity to build a team around me that compliments everything we do.

Assuming the position as President of Guardian Fleet Services is a great accomplishment and the highlight of my career.”
