How can we prioritize safety and efficiency in 2024?

The answer lies not just in cost cutting and training, but also technology. Enter video telematics, a powerful tool that’s been a norm for large-scale operations for years and is now accessible for fleets of all sizes. 

The Urgency of Enhanced Safety:

  • Accidents are on the rise: 
    • According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),1 in 2020, around 439,206 large trucks were involved in police-reported traffic crashes in the U.S., leading to nearly 5,000 deaths and 147,000 injuries.  
  • Insurers are taking notice: 
    • Clear accident evidence from video telematics leads to faster claim resolution and reduced premiums2—so much so that many insurers now offer discounts to those with in-vehicle cameras.  

How Video Telematics Can Empower Every Fleet

Video telematics is no longer just a luxury for large fleets, it an essential and affordable option for companies of all sizes. By embracing these three pillars of progress, you can secure your operations, drive down costs, empower your drivers and build a foundation for sustainable success:

Theme 1: Safety and Liability—Shield Your Fleet

  • Real-time alerts for speeding, fatigue and distracted driving events prevent accidents before they happen.
  • Irrefutable video evidence protects your reputation and ensures fair claims resolution.
  • Transparent data and accountability build trust with customers, communities and regulators.

Theme 2: Efficiency and Savings —Optimize Your Operations

  • Data-driven insights track fuel consumption, identify efficient routes and minimize downtime.
  • Automated claims processing reduces paperwork and boosts customer satisfaction.
  • Optimized logistics and reduced insurance premiums give you a competitive edge.

Theme 3: Retention and Security — Invest in Your Drivers, Protect Your Equipment

  • Real-time feedback fosters a culture of continuous learning and skill improvement.
  • Monitor vehicle location and usage to deter theft and misuse.
  • Show your drivers you care about their safety and well-being, attracting and retaining top talent.

Not “Big Brother,” But a Commitment to Safety

It's about embracing responsibility and accountability, and ensuring swift and accurate responses in the unfortunate event of an accident.
