Hunter Nelson walks through how to cut fleet costs by preventing fires and accidents. A $117,000 trailer fire from a mechanical failure shows why preventative maintenance, dash cams with fatigue detection, and collision-avoidance systems matter. Form a safety team, invest in the tech, and watch your risk drop.
A $117,000 trailer fire.
What do you do now? Lower your total cost of risk, which will lower your premium and lower your indirect cost. That's going to be safety teams. Tech maintenance for maintenance, get a mechanic, get some software, have that thing break down as least amount as possible and have less fires, have less claims, have less everything. Right. We just had $117,000 trailer fire and I don't know what happened there, but probably started from mechanical issue, right? Or something along those lines. Tech Dual facing dash cams, keep an eye on your drivers, are they causing you problems? Distraction detection on them if they're getting fatigued, any of that type of stuff. Right. ELDs, collision avoidance software, turnover avoidance software or hardware, whatever.
