Just recently, we’ve come across a fascinating article at trucknews.com telling the story of Bison Transport – an excellent example of how to proactively manage risk and lower insurance costs based on telematics data.
The fleet operator didn't just collect data; they analyzed it, coached their drivers, and built a data-driven partnership with their insurer. As a result, Bison Transport:
- Reduced major incidents by 48% in 5 years;
- Used their proven safety record to justify a higher deductible, a strategic shift that slashed their insurance premiums;
- Demonstrated measurable improvements to insurers and strengthened its position when negotiating coverage terms.
Were there blockers in their path? Sure…
According to Garth Pitzel of Bison Transport, “sometimes insurers misinterpret data because they don't have the full picture.”
That’s where we see eye to eye – having telematics data alone isn’t enough. It’s the combination of insights + context + partnership with your insurer that turns it into a real competitive advantage.
Creating a transparent, comprehensive data pipeline for such partnerships is hard work, often taking years of dedicated effort. It requires constant communication to ensure fleet safety improvements – even the latest ones – are properly demonstrated and understood.
But what if you could establish that same level of data-driven trust and transparency effortlessly
That's the mission behind Draivn. We bridge the data gap between fleets, brokers, and insurers.
Our ONE API allows fleets to securely embed their comprehensive performance story – the history, context, latest improvements, the full picture – directly into the underwriting process as early as possible. It’s not just about making data available; it’s about ensuring the data shapes risk evaluation from the start. No misinterpretations – just a clear, timely view of the fleet’s performance that can make a real difference in coverage and costs.
We believe fleet safety investments should be rewarded and are eager to help turn your safety efforts into your strongest negotiation tool.
