In the ever-evolving world of transportation and logistics, visionary leadership plays a critical role in driving operational excellence, innovation, and long-term value. This month, that leadership was recognized on a regional and industry-wide scale: Gary Kooner, Founder and CEO of Kooner Fleet Management Solutions (Kooner FMS), has been named to the Sacramento Business Journal’s prestigious “40 Under 40” list for 2025.
The annual “40 Under 40” program honors dynamic leaders under the age of 40 who are shaping the future of business across the Sacramento region. Selected by a panel of past honorees and Business Journal editors, the award recognizes not just business success, but entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and community impact.
“I’m truly honored to be recognized by the Sacramento Business Journal as part of this year’s ’40 Under 40′ class,” Gary shared. “But more than anything, this is a reflection of the incredible work our team does every day. We’re not just fixing trucks—we’re building a smarter, more reliable way to manage fleets.”
That mission—to modernize and streamline fleet maintenance—continues to guide the company’s expansion and innovation. Kooner FMS provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the evolving needs of fleet operators, including:
- 24/7 mobile repair & preventative maintenance
- Fleet optimization and analytics
- Driver safety training
- DOT compliance and inspection support
- Technology-driven solutions for real-time fleet monitoring
Gary’s leadership has always centered around a few core principles: innovation, integrity, and service. That mindset has positioned Kooner FMS as more than a service provider—it’s a strategic partner for fleets navigating increased pressure around uptime, compliance, sustainability, and cost control.
As the transportation industry faces rising expectations for performance and visibility, Kooner FMS is investing in the technologies and talent that will define the next era of fleet management. From AI-powered diagnostics to sustainability-driven lifecycle planning, the company is committed to helping fleets run smarter, safer, and more efficiently.
The Sacramento Business Journal will honor Gary and the other 2025 “40 Under 40” recipients at a formal event on October 30 at The Pavilion at Haggin Oaks.
