Vehicle accidents are one of the costliest issues for fleets, but there’s more than meets the eye. Let’s break it down:
Roadside fines
Insurance rates/premiums go up
Take truck off road = loss of revenue
Repairs and replacements
Driver out and/or truck detained = missed opportunity & lost productivity
Damage to company reputation
If lawsuits are involved... long term detention of vehicles, legal fees, driver loses confidence, and potential for nuclear verdicts can all occur
