The Impact of Dedicated Fleet Safety Solutions
Financial Impact
Crashes are costly.
The average cost of a truck crash is staggering: $46,765 for a non-injury crash, $383,168 for an injury crash, and over $14.5 million for a fatal crash (FMCSA, 2024). Beyond these direct costs, businesses face skyrocketing insurance premiums, lost time, freight claims, equipment repairs and damaged brand reputation.
Companies that invest in strong safety practices with a dedicated fleet partner don’t just lower their risk — they thrive. In fact, companies with rigorous safety standards see a 40% boost in productivity and fewer job-related injuries (HR Future).
Human Impact
Safety starts with leadership — and pays off company-wide.
Organizations with a strong safety culture see reduced downtime, better asset utilization, and higher retention. According to Forbes, a safety-first approach leads to cost reductions, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth.
Dedicated fleet providers bring SOPs, technology, compliance training, and leadership support to embed safety into every layer of your operation. With 97% of working Americans saying that feeling safe is a key factor in where they work (EHS Today), your commitment to safety isn’t just good policy—it’s good business.
Operational Impact
Road risks are rising — and so are the consequences.
Fleet maintenance lapses and unsafe practices are harder to hide as the roadways become more crowded and dangerous. In 2021 alone, there were 494,000 police-reported crashes involving large trucks (FMCSA). Nearly 13% of trucks inspected during CVSA’s 2024 Brake Safety Week were placed out of service for brake-related violations.
Add in aging infrastructure (39% of U.S. roads are in poor or mediocre condition), distracted drivers, and over 5.7 million new drivers on the road in just two years, and it’s clear: operating safely isn’t optional. A dedicated fleet partner helps ensure safety is never overlooked.
Is your carrier safety program protecting your people and bottom line?
Rising liability costs, tighter regulations, and higher customer expectations make transportation safety non-negotiable.
This white paper breaks down today’s top safety risks, shows the real costs of safety failures, and explains how top dedicated providers help shippers stay compliant, lower risk, and boost performance.
