U.S. commercial motor fleet operators carry loads of industrial and consumer goods that keep the economy running. Along for the ride are steadily increasing operating costs that are tightening margins and stressing operations at the very time customers are expecting faster deliveries and lower prices. This is coupled with challenges commercial drivers face on highways often riskier due to negative driving behaviors of others and the growing burden of potential “nuclear” jury verdicts.

This all adds up to an increasingly rough ride for an industry vital to the economic strength of the U.S. and for every business and family depending on it. In a new whitepaper “Steering fleet liability insurance onto a more sustainable road” Zurich North America takes a closer look at some of the key challenges facing today’s commercial fleets, and considers ways fleet managers can “change lanes” to help make the road ahead smoother, safer and less costly for everyone.
