The following is FMCSA crash report of a client that installed TruckALERT on some of their fleet for a trial period, which
lowered their numbers substantially.
Based on RESULTS, they equipped their entire fleet and here’s how the numbers look now:
We understand the problem. A large majority of incidents are not caused by a professionally trained truck driver, they are due to a distracted motorist.
We’ve worked with many Fleet managers, DOT compliance officers, and Safety officials to drastically reduce collision rates and the related costs. The fact is, the number of distracted drivers today is steadily getting worse and out of control.
We have clients that demonstrated such a large reduction in crashes, they were able to negotiate favorable rates with their insurance company, and others have been able to avoid loosing coverage. Today we enjoy referrals from insurance carriers and look forward to publishing a list of carriers that offer more favorable rates if your truck is equipped with our product.
If your company is experiencing a problem with your collision rate and it’s having an impact on your coverage, or about to, please contact us.
