On average, commercial fleets report a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com\/303123\/fleet-safety-metrics-reverse-negatively-accidents-increase\">20% crash rate<\/a> per year. Accident and out-of-service costs continue to represent one of the largest fleet expenses, with motor vehicle accidents costing employers more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20180417005478\/en\/Auto-Accidents-Cost-Employers-56.7-Billion-Last-Year-Finds-New-Motus-Trend-Report\">$56 billion<\/a> and out-of-service costs for fleets going as high as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worktruckonline.com\/356303\/fleets-use-evolving-tech-to-reduce-downtime\">$760 per vehicle per day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It gets worse. The size of legal awards for on-the-job motor vehicle accidents is also soaring. In 2019, the average liability verdict award was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightwaves.com\/news\/the-numbers-dont-lie-size-of-legal-awards-vs-trucking-companies-is-soaring?utm_content=105995565&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_\">$17.5 million<\/a>, and the highest jury verdict for that year was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightwaves.com\/news\/georgia-verdict-against-steel-hauler-may-be-the-biggest-ever-by-a-lot\">record-setting $280 million<\/a>. And while some of these cases involved a wrongful death charge, more of them were due to negligence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negligence \u2013 or negligent entrustment liability \u2013 occurs when a dangerous article such as a vehicle is entrusted to somebody who is reckless, inexperienced, or incompetent. If the entrusted individual has an accident, the injured party has the right to bring a case against the individual\u2019s employer. All the plaintiff needs to show to find fault with the employer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The organization entrusted the vehicle to the driver<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The driver was reckless, incompetent, or unlicensed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The organization knew \u2013 or should have known \u2013 that the driver was reckless, incompetent, or unlicensed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does this occur? According to Solera\u2019s Adam Danielson and Josh Lax in our recent webinar, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/register.gotowebinar.com\/register\/4559283718959983887\">The Risk of Overlooking Driver Safety<\/a>,\u201d most often it\u2019s because the fleet only protects their own liability with the bare minimum, \u201cgood enough\u201d approach mandated by our regulators: They pull motor vehicle reports (MVRs) once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/esupervisor-remove-liability-blind-spots-inner-image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/esupervisor-remove-liability-blind-spots-inner-image-1.jpeg 616w, https:\/\/www.solera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/esupervisor-remove-liability-blind-spots-inner-image-1-300x139.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The problem with that approach is that it opens an extremely wide liability risk exposure gap of up to 364 days. If a driver receives a violation or suspension the day after the company pulls the MVR, they have a 364-day grace period before the infraction is discovered. That 364 days represents a lot of driving hours, and plenty of opportunities for that driver to have a traffic stop or be involved in an accident where the fleet could be liable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully how to close the gap on this particular issue is fairly simple: <a href=\"https:\/\/esupervision.com\/driver-license-monitoring\">comprehensive continuous license monitoring<\/a>. With the right continuous license monitoring solution, not only can a fleet manager understand the level of risk a particular driver poses to their organization at hiring, but throughout the driver\u2019s employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a new violation or license suspension occurs for a driver, a new MVR is automatically delivered to the manager. The manager can then take immediate corrective action with the driver, thereby closing this liability exposure gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a continuous license monitoring solution is not enough to fully remove all driver-related liability blind spots. A comprehensive safety culture is required for maximum risk reduction. It\u2019s important that you create and solidify this safety culture around your drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s technology makes this relatively simple. The right solution offers features that make your life and your drivers\u2019 lives easier. For example, features like digital recordkeeping and <a href=\"https:\/\/esupervision.com\/hazmat-informer\">automated hazmat compliance<\/a> streamline administrative tasks. A full-service <a href=\"https:\/\/esupervision.com\/safety-performer\">safety suite<\/a> can help you identify, train, and mitigate risky drivers. Add on a <a href=\"https:\/\/esupervision.com\/driver-performer\">driver performance<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/esupervision.com\/retention-performer\">retention<\/a> module to identify, reward, and retain profitable drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/esupervisor-remove-liability-blind-spots-inner-image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/esupervisor-remove-liability-blind-spots-inner-image-2.jpeg 587w, https:\/\/www.solera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/esupervisor-remove-liability-blind-spots-inner-image-2-300x151.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let 20% of your drivers cause 80% of your liability risk.
