How does fleet safety save money?
Insurance - A safer fleet will generally have fewer at-fault collisions, which will help to lower insurance premiums. If dash cams are employed, then you may be able to avoid false insurance claims against your company with high quality footage of the event. Many insurance companies even offer lower rates to companies that utilize dash cams.
Personnel - With fewer collisions, your fleet will benefit from less employee downtime, lower medical costs, and less need to pay expensive overtime to cover absent drivers.
Maintenance - By reducing safety violation incidents including speeding and harsh braking, your vehicles will suffer from less wear and tear. This can result in lower maintenance costs and reduced vehicle downtime.
Vehicles - A lower accident rate and reduced vehicle wear and tear will help to increase vehicle utilization rates. This can reduce the need for standby vehicles, providing opportunities to reduce the number of vehicles in your fleet. Vehicle depreciation rates can be reduced, with vehicles in better repair when you come to sell them on.
