Seasoned fleet managers understand that crashes are expensive. The bigger question is: What specific behaviors, risks, and operational factors are driving those costs?

Drawing on NETS' latest Cost of Crashes research and fleet safety benchmarking data, this session goes beyond industry averages to examine how crash costs vary by factors such as speeding, distracted driving, seatbelt use, impairment, and industry segment. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of where safety-related expenses originate and how those costs impact organizations long after a vehicle is repaired.

Following a presentation of key findings, fleet operators will discuss how they use benchmarking, technology, driver training, and organizational culture to identify risk, prioritize safety investments, and reduce crash-related costs. The session will also explore how leading fleets use data to strengthen the business case for safety initiatives and to measure their impact over time.
