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
