If you own or are looking into starting a trucking company, you’re probably always on the hunt for fleet management resources. It isn’t enough for fleet managers and drivers to simply be aware of safety standards and common transportation hazards, like distracted driving, vehicle maintenance, inclement weather and rollovers. Trucking companies need to ensure that they have the optimal trucking insurance policy, and that their employees are committed to the business’s safety policies.

Not only does employee buy-in help motor carriers cut costs related to injuries and illnesses, but it can also improve road safety and prevent compliance issues. To drive such buy-in, we have a number of resources dedicated to fleet management and safety, including guides, checklists, sample policies and more.
