Unsafe Driving violations can be devastating to a trucking company's compliance scores (and profitability). These violations are usually behavior-based errors that drivers make while on the road, and they have a huge impact on a trucking company's ability to operate safely, maintain customer relationships, and make a profit.

Here are the 𝟭𝟬 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗙𝗠𝗖𝗦𝗔 𝘃𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Each violation impacts the motor carrier’s CSA score, and those scores are visible to customers, insurers, employees and more.   It’s not just about inspections – it’s about safety. Violations like bad brakes and tires don’t just hurt your CSA score – they can lead to serious safety risks, putting employees and the traveling public in danger.   Most of these Top 10 violations are preventable. Best-in-class companies don’t leave safety to chance – they use roadside inspection data to continuously improve -- to develop processes to prevent future violations.    Contact your Acrisure Risk Advisor to review your roadside data and help you protect what matters most: people, reputation, public safety and financial wellbeing.    #SafetyFirst #CSAScore #FleetSafety #RoadSafety

A typical trucking company will pay about $.10 per mile for insurance (auto liability and cargo insurance), which generally accounts for about 4% of their total operating costs, on the average. But the cost per mile is by no means the same for every trucking company.  High-performing trucking companies can pay far less for insurance than low-performing trucking companies. This difference in insurance costs can have a substantial impact on a trucking company’s bottom line profitability. Source: American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI). (2023, June).

When a crash occurs, you need to "be ready to pounce" in order to get the best claim outcome for your company. John Liberatore of Primacy Risk Services shares how to do this in an excerpt from his DE-RISKATHON session. For the full session recording, contact your Acrisure Risk Advisor.

Hazardous Material regulations don't just apply to placarded hazmat haulers. Mark Abrahamson shares the minimum insurance requirements for hazardous materials (and what qualifies as hazmat).

🚨 Attention, Transportation Industry Professionals! 🚨 Starting November 18th, 2024, a new rule change will be implemented for the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. Under this change, State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) must downgrade a driver's license by removing the commercial driving privilege when the driver has a status of 'prohibited' in the Clearinghouse. To help SDLAs comply with this rule change, utilize the linked checklist from the FMCSA that outlines the necessary steps and requirements: https://lnkd.in/gaXgHsYy For more information on the rule change, you can visit the FMCSA website: https://lnkd.in/eX4-qbA Contact your Acrisure Risk Advisor today for guidance on help staying compliant. #TransportationSafety #FMCSA #Clearinghouse #DrugAndAlcoholTesting #Compliance #CDLdowngrades

The increasing cost of health insurance has put a pinch on trucking company profitability. For a typical trucking company, driver benefits account for ~8% of total operating costs. On a per mile basis, those driver benefits cost trucking companies $.19 per mile (almost twice as much as truck insurance).
