A report released earlier this year by trucking tech firm Motive found that, while safety is a priority for fleets, it’s not the top priority in a lot of cases. In Motive’s State of Safety Report, 95% of responding fleet managers said driver safety performance was a priority, but when asked to rank priorities, they ranked “increasing revenue” and “minimizing expenses” ahead of “improving safety.”
There are ways for fleets to prioritize safety while also boosting revenue and minimizing expenses, however.
Joining Jason and Matt this week on the 10-44 is Jon Bernstein, vice president of product management for mobile workforce tech firm Motus, who explains that prioritizing safety will also have positive impacts on revenue and expenses.
