the accompanying prospectus, dated August&nbsp;2, 2024, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, which provides more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus
supplement, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. If the description of this offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement,
which supersedes the information in the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement contains information about the shares offered in this offering and may add, update or change information in the accompanying prospectus. Before you invest in
any of the shares offered under this prospectus supplement, you should carefully read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus together with the additional information under the headings &#147;<I>Where You Can Find More

information. No dealer, salesperson or any other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If anyone provides you with different or additional
information, you should not rely on it. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus that we may provide or any document incorporated by reference is
accurate as of any date other than the date mentioned on the cover page of these documents. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making offers to sell the shares in any jurisdiction in which an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in
which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are offering to sell shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the common stock in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the shares of common stock and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus outside the United States.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">References in

Adjusted EBITDA to net income in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K</FONT> because certain information regarding the Company&#146;s provision for income taxes is not
available, and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of net income at this time without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company&#146;s future financial
results. We have provided the reconciliations below based on the information that is currently available to the Company. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>

</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the future, we may issue additional authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the
ownership interests of our stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 23,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September&nbsp;30, 2024, there were 18,428,955 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, as of
September&nbsp;30, 2024, there were 300,120 shares of common stock issuable upon the settlement of outstanding service-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock-settled performance-based awards. We may also
issue additional shares of common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of securities for capital raising purposes, or
for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares,
warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with any capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the offering price of the shares of common stock in this offering. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>If we engage in future acquisitions, this may increase our capital requirements, dilute our stockholders, cause us to incur debt or
assume contingent liabilities and subject us to other risks. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From time to time, we may evaluate various acquisitions, including
acquiring complementary assets that add new products, new customers, and new capabilities or new geographic and/or operational competitive advantages in both new and existing markets within our core competencies. Any potential acquisition may entail
numerous risks, including increased operating expenses and cash requirements and the assumption of additional indebtedness or contingent liabilities. Additionally, if we undertake acquisitions, we may issue dilutive securities, assume or incur debt
obligations, incur large <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time</FONT> expenses and acquire intangible assets that could result in significant future amortization expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our existing

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the future, we may sell additional shares of common stock or issue other types of securities to raise capital. If we raise additional funds
by issuing equity securities, we may sell shares of our common stock or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. Additionally, if we raise additional funds
by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and, if the equity securities issued are preferred shares, the holders of the new preferred shares may have rights superior to those of our existing

affect rights of our existing security holders and the market price of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of those debt securities would have
some rights senior to those of our existing security holders, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us, which could have a materially adverse effect on our
business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The price of our common stock may be volatile. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The market price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. For example, from January&nbsp;1, 2023 through June&nbsp;30, 2024, the
closing price of our common stock fluctuated between $40.95 and $93.59. The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower than the price that you have paid, depending on many factors, some of
which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. Stock market volatility may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a
company&#146;s securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which
could significantly harm our profitability and reputation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about

market for our common stock relies in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. If any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable
research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our stock price could decline. In addition, if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the
financial markets, which could also cause our stock price and/or trading volume to decline. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our stock price may decline if our
financial performance does not meet the guidance we have provided to the public, estimates published by research analysts or other investor expectations. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The guidance we provide as to our expected revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is only an estimate of what we believe is realizable at the time
we give such guidance. It is difficult to predict our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and our actual results may vary materially from our guidance. We may not meet our financial guidance or other investor expectations for other reasons, including
those arising from the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus supplement and in our other public filings and public statements. For example, our estimated results for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2024 and current
aftermarket trends are expected to impact the Fleet segment, as full-year revenue is anticipated to decline year-over-year. Furthermore, research analysts publish estimates of our future revenue and earnings based on their own analysis. The revenue
guidance we provide may be one factor they consider when determining their estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our debt exposes us to certain risks.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you acquire shares of our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between
the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our historical net tangible book value of common stock as of June&nbsp;30, 2024 was
$615.9&nbsp;million, or $33.42 per share of common stock. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dilution per share represents the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the adjusted net tangible
book value per share of our common stock included in this offering after giving effect to this offering. After giving effect to the sale of all of the shares of our common stock offered in this offering at a price of $87.00 per share, and after
deducting the underwriting discount and our estimated offering expenses in connection with this offering, our adjusted net tangible book value as of June&nbsp;30, 2024 would have been approximately $758.0 million, or approximately $37.61 per share
of common stock. This change represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $4.19 per share of common stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value of $49.39 per share of
common stock to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

pursuant to this offering as a capital asset within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;) (generally, for investment purposes). This summary does not address all aspects of U.S.

certain investors, including, without limitation, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax,

business combination or the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a &#147;business combination&#148; includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in
a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an &#147;interested stockholder&#148; is a person that, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status
did own, 15% or more of a corporation&#146;s voting stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and a trustee to be named in the indenture. The trustee, other than during the
occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same
degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of
debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Payment and

agents designated by it, except that unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or officer&#146;s certificate, the Company will make interest payments by check that it will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain
holders. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or officer&#146;s certificate, the Company will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as its sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of
each series. The applicable prospectus supplement or officer&#146;s certificate will name any other paying agents that the Company initially designates for the debt securities of a particular series. The Company will maintain a paying agent in each
place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All money the Company pays to a paying agent or the trustee for the

underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the securities are repurchased by
the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of such securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If
