Why Your Commercial Fleet Needs a Comprehensive Fleet Safety Program

In the fast-paced world of commercial transportation, fleet safety is not just a regulatory checkbox — it’s a vital component for protecting lives, preserving assets, and ensuring profitability. If your fleet doesn’t have a robust safety program in place, you could be exposing your business to unnecessary risks that result in accidents, lawsuits, and skyrocketing expenses.

The Shocking Reality: Fleet Safety by the Numbers

Statistics reveal a sobering truth about the state of commercial fleet safety:

• 94% of vehicle crashes are caused by human error. (Source: NHTSA)
• Fleet vehicle accidents cost employers over $60 billion annually in medical care, legal expenses, and property damage. (Source: OSHA)
• On average, a single accident costs a company $70,000—nearly twice the cost of a workplace injury. (Source: NETS)
• Commercial drivers who engage in distracted driving behaviors are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash. (Source: FMCSA)

These figures underscore the importance of prioritizing safety in every aspect of fleet management. A single incident can not only harm your drivers but also put your company's reputation and bottom line at risk.
