Compounding the fact is the state of infrastructure in the U.S. Knowing these facts, fleets have been moving to ensure they stay ahead of the game and can rely on the safety of their trucks and truck drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the medium-duty segment, accidents last year also showed a rise, primarily because medium-duty vehicles were driven the most miles, year-over-year. Another factor playing into the rise in medium-duty truck accidents lies in the rapid increase in the size of medium-duty vehicles operating within commercial fleets. When you increase the volume and rate of usage, accidents, by sheer statistics, will rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medium-duty fleets also saw the highest rise in physical\ndamage from a loss perspective. Overall, the severity of truck crashes\ninvolving the medium-duty segment has proven to be far costlier than that of\nother segments. As medium-duty vehicles are outfitted with more technologies\nand add-ons, the cost of an accident rises. This segment also has the longest\nlifespan, with medium-duty trucks operating in the longest duty cycles. The\nlonger they are on the road, the greater the chances are that they may be\ninvolved in a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rising numbers also transcended what type of industry a\nmotor carrier works in. The highest accident reading came in the delivery\nservice segment, where on-time delivery is incredibly important. As fleet\nmanagers, logistics specialists, and truck drivers try to cope with the\nincrease in volume, higher numbers mean higher safety miles, but also more\naccidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the bright spots remains light-duty trucks, in which\nthe accident rate remained relatively steady in 2018. Now, the question\nremains: What are fleets doing to contend with the rising accident rates in\n2018, and will 2019 show a marked improvement, even as the economy continues to\ndo well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where Are the Issues?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The types of accidents driving the increase are backing into\nparked vehicles and hitting fixed objects. Medium-duty vehicles are leading the\nway in the number of vehicles hit. In the case of fixed damage, there is also\nalmost always a certain amount of property damage that must be addressed. This\ncauses a big rise in overall costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fatigue also continues to drain resources and cause potential\nsafety problems. It is imperative that fleets address fatigue through a fatigue\nmanagement program. It is well known that a tired truck driver can create a big\nsafety concern out on the road. Still, even fatigue and accident type are not\nthe primary cause of the rise in accidents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truck driver shortage plaguing the industry, when\ncoupled with a far higher shipping demand, is simply adding a higher level of\nvolume, thus the numbers rise. Additionally, the truck driving force today is\nfilled with new and less experienced truck drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note, however, that studies still show\nthat most accidents involving large commercial motor vehicles can be attributed\nto the fault of those driving passenger cars. Around 70 to 90 percent of the\ntime, it was those driving a passenger car that caused an accident, mainly\nbecause passenger vehicle drivers do not know that heavier vehicles must have\nmore space and time and have more blind spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trucking Companies Address the Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is well known that safety awareness within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quicktransportsolutions.com\/carrier\/usa-trucking-companies.php\">trucking companies<\/a> increases by the year. Transportation companies across the country are doing whatever they can to reduce the number of preventable accidents happening on their watch. The efforts are also quite varied. From safety training to telematics and predictive modeling tools, motor carriers are pulling out all the stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As fleets work to attract new truck drivers and greater\ninvestment, they want to make sure they have what it takes to keep interested\nparties, well, interested. While many accident-reduction efforts are focusing\non better driving skills, many of them are putting the emphasis on\ntechnological innovation, from in-cab and forward-facing video to enhanced\nsafety technologies embedded within the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advanced data capture and analytics allows fleet managers to demonstrate to truck drivers how specific behaviors impact what happens behind the wheel. Specific numbers can be applied to how much mobile phone usage, eating, or multitasking raises or lowers the potential for a catastrophic accident. Over time, these technologies have become more accurate at predicting and preventing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With medium-duty applications showing the largest rise in incidents, it should be no surprise that these fleets have been among the early adopters of telematics and advanced fleet safety technologies. Heavy-duty and long-haul fleets are not too far behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technology Changes\nthe Game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As fleets turn to technological solutions to address\neverything from fleet management to back-office accounting and data analytics,\nthe first area they always look to for a technological solution remains safety.\nManaging and reducing accidents remains the primary motivating factor for\ncompanies pouring tens \u2013 if not hundreds \u2013 of thousands of dollars into\ntechnological solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For medium-duty applications, telematics programs are most\ndesired. Since telematics technology essentially puts a fleet manager inside\nthe vehicle with the truck driver, these solutions can be leveraged as a way to\nmonitor and improve truck driver performance while also identifying high-risk\nbehaviors, from harsh braking to rapid acceleration and speeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With backing up into objects remaining one of the highest\nmarkers for the accident rate, safety backup cams are increasingly becoming the\nnorm. Other safety features, such as lane departure warning systems, forward\ncollision alerts, and even advanced pedestrian monitoring and avoidance systems\nare far more commonplace today than they were a short ten years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, just ten years ago, technologies like lane\ndeparture systems were quite novel. Today, they are second-nature. The industry\nhas now moved on to side blind zone alerts, rear cross traffic alerts, trailer\nalerts and monitoring packages, smartphone apps to check on lighting around the\ntruck and trailer, and so much more. The list of safety technologies available\nto fleets today can sometimes seem overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another change can be seen in how much of this technology is\nnow being installed standard at the OEM before it even reaches the lot. The\nnewer a fleet is, the more likely it is to have safety technologies built-in.\nIn the past, it may have been less likely that you would see technologies like\nrollover air bags and hands-free phone technology in the medium-duty space, but\nthat is now changing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fleet managers are also turning to advanced routing measure\nto decrease their overall accident rate. By routing vehicles around problem\nareas, a potential accident can be prevented. Telematics can now afford\ndispatch managers the ability to see if there are problems on a potential\nroadway long before their vehicle ever arrives to said roadway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, addressing truck driver behaviors is critical to\nensuring any safety program reduces a fleets overall accident rate. Truck\ndriver training technologies are no longer simply reactive in nature. Fleet\nmanagers should be able to address risky drivers before they ever become a\nproblem. Proper tools can be put into place to address these truck drivers and\ngive them the help they need to ensure they have many, many safe miles on our\nnation\u2019s roads and highways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From web- to computer-based driver safety training tests,\nthere is no shortage of tools and methodologies at the disposal of enterprising\nfleets who want to take this matter into their own hands. Initial truck driver\ntraining is far more advanced than it used to be, and rightfully so. New truck\ndrivers need more than just a grey classroom with a whiteboard to understand\nthe technologies that drive the vehicles that they will be operating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More Than Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many trucking industry advocates and insiders contend that\nif the trucking industry as a whole, in a coordinated effort, were to invest\nheavily in safety technologies for their fleets, there would be a dramatic\ndecrease in overall truck accidents. And while these technologies can be\ndesigned to assist a truck driver be a better truck driver, they are really to\nhelp truck drivers keep a careful eye on the actions of passenger car drivers\nand where there may be road hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note, however, that safety technologies should be accompanied by truck driver training. A technology is only as safe as the operator who is driving the vehicle. Comprehensive training designed to help truck drivers (especially new ones), get into a professional mindset, combined with consistent monthly training, goes a long way when added to a comprehensive safety technology setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">               <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we have reported on in the past, fleets must also make efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/quicktransportsolutions.com\/blog\/the-keys-to-a-stellar-safety-program-culture-and-risk-assessment\/\">create a safety culture<\/a> they can be proud of. From the top to the bottom, everyone within the organization must eat, breathe, and live safety. It is absolutely possible to see 2019 finish out with a lower accident rate than 2018, even if the economy continues to improve. Hopefully, the industry can see that happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional trucking remains an incredibly safe and secure career option, but with the economy humming and more and more freight trucks and passenger vehicles on the nation\u2019s roads and highways, especially in 2018, accident numbers have been on the rise.
