Who do you call when a good day goes bad?
You have just poured your first cup of coffee when your dispatcher calls to tell you that one of your trucks has just been involved in a fatal crash. The next number you dial may very well determine whether or not your company survives.
The projected increases in vehicle population, freight demand, traffic density, and congestion will continue to increase the exposure of each truck to crashes.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) provides the following statistics:
- That the average tractor-trailer combination, property-only crash costs more than $11K
- That each truck has a 1 in 6 chance of being involved in such a crash each year
- That each truck has a 1 in 20 chance of being involved in a crash resulting in injury, with an average cost of $245K
- That the average fatal truck crash costs about $3.4M
- That the average truck is involved in 2.2 crashes per million miles
- That the average tractor-trailer driven 80,000 miles per year has an average per-year crash cost of $16K
