What happens if your driver has an accident in a company vehicle?
Dangerous driving behaviours that fleets often overlook
Imagine a fleet that’s hardly ever plagued by collisions or downtime. Drivers who consistently perform well and drive safely. And a healthy budget free of sudden accident costs.
Risky winter conditions: How to prepare your fleet
Fleets have to be ready to get the job done, no matter the season or time of year. And this is especially true during the winter months.
Poor driver behaviour: Why and how you should address it
Dealing with ballooning costs as well as accidents and the ensuing downtime are all hassles that can arise when managing your fleet operations get out of hand. But how do you avoid these inevitable problems and help keep more vehicles on the road?
Steps drivers should take in case of an accident
It takes real finesse to manage a modern fleet properly and smoothly. That includes keeping costs down, keeping assets on the road, minimising accidents, and ensuring employee health and safety.
Is your fleet stress-free and operating over the festive season?
Through the holiday season, is your fleet in great working order, ready to face the new year? If not, now’s the time to take corrective action.
The real cost of an accident
Managing the finances of a business means always being prepared for the unexpected. For companies managing fleets, that involves accounting for the chance of accidents.
Crashes are never 100% preventable, so understanding the financial risks ahead of time is key.
Key advantages of accurate, real-time fleet data
Imagine having complete, up-to-the-minute knowledge of your fleet operations - information that puts you straight in the ‘driver’s seat’ so to speak.
You could instantly see whether there are enough vehicles dispatched, allowing you to resource accordingly. You’d see the red flags of impending accidents. And you'd have detailed reporting to ensure your drivers are hitting benchmarks. These are just some of the ways that accurate, real-time fleet data can make your job so much easier.
How to choose the right fleet accident management outsourcing partner
The ‘dream’ mobile workforce is a well-oiled machine that always runs smoothly. Of course, that’s almost never the case.
Accidents are a reality, and the fallout is all too familiar: middle-of-the-night awakenings, worries about possible employee injuries, third party insurance claims, a mountain of admin work and major costs from vehicle downtime.
How accident management works at SurePlan
There’s never enough time in a day to address all the problems that can happen with a mobile workforce. In fact, fleet accidents can happen late at night, long after you’ve left the office.
That’s why a solid accident management plan is extremely important to have in place. When the hassles of fleet crashes arise, it can seem nearly impossible to handle the fallout on your own, while keeping your company out of legal and financial entanglements.
