Our Story
Dayton Fleet Solutions was founded by Devon Whitman. He established the company with the goal of building an organization centered around the transportation industry and the people who keep it moving. As the original owner and founder, he set the foundation and early direction of Dayton Fleet Solutions.
That founding principle remains the same: build a company people can depend on. Dayton Fleet Solutions continues to develop its identity, culture, and long-term direction from that starting point.
Today, Dayton Fleet Solutions operates from the Dayton, Ohio area. Current ownership sits with the company's Chief Executive Officer, Ethan Kettner, who leads the organization with the leadership team.
Founded with a clear purpose. Led with a long-term view.
