 Whether you are an independent trucker or you own a fleet of trucks, wouldn't you like to save money on your trucking insurance? Here's how you can save money using technology.
- ELD: An ELD is an electronic logging device that can tell you how fast the truck has been driving and how long it's been driving. These might be mandated soon, but why wait? If you are monitoring speed and number of driving hours, then your truck is less likely to be in an accident, since the driver probably isn't sleepy and is driving at a safe speed. This could lead to lower truck insurance premiums, since you should have fewer claims for accidents and fewer tickets for speeding.
- Cameras: Adding a rearview camera to the truck means fewer accidents backing up. Fewer accidents means lower insurance premiums. The cameras can also help alleviate blind spots, which also helps reduce accidents.
- Diagnostics: Instead of waiting for the truck's engine light to come on or the truck to quit, have a scheduled diagnostics test run. The diagnostics can help you see if there is an issue before something becomes a safety risk. Having this schedule also shows you are proactive — and insurance companies like customers who are proactive about safety.
- Sensors: These aren't expensive, and they're easy to install. Sensors will alert you to a potential theft and will help protect your cargo. If you keep your cargo safe, then you may have fewer claims.
Which of these simple technologies will you install today?
