In the trucking industry, proactive risk-mitigation strategies can help fleets avoid costly and potentially dangerous accidents, regulatory infractions, and equipment breakdowns. For a fleet manager, efficient risk-mitigation practices can increase safety, maximize compliance with regulatory mandates, and reduce operational costs. Preventive risk-mitigation practices will protect your equipment, your drivers, your reputation, and even your company’s life.

TruckX provides a bundle of turnkey mitigation solutions for fleet operators by following vehicles in real-time. Fleet managers can track risk factors like driver behavior, vehicle health, or route efficiency, and use real-time insights to stop potentially dangerous patterns before they lead to an accident or a more costly breakdown.

Preventive maintenance scheduling is another risk mitigation strategy; indeed, one of its purposes is avoiding or eliminating unplanned repairs. With a telematics system in a truck, owners know when to bring it in for service so that every truck stays on the road for as many miles as possible. If a driver has a bad habit, such as abrupt braking or harsh cornering, the telematics system can flag it so that the driver can be coached to improve safety. These are ways the TruckX paradigm can improve safety, efficiency, and the environment.
