Delivery vehicles may not be known for their innovative features (with the exception of a few concept models), but it doesn’t mean they need to be stuck in the past forever.
Upfitting a delivery fleet with safety systems (like those of the RVS + Geotab integration) improves operations, reliability, safety, and even profitability in the long run.
How?
Tracking Driver Behavior & Efficiency
Using telematics to find the most efficient routes are important for any fleet, but even more so with last mile deliveries, since hitting those promised delivery times is the name of the game. Not doing so...

It’s disheartening how a vehicle’s crash costs can pile up. If you’re a smaller fleet, it’s downright draining.
The costs of repairs are usually what come to mind, but there are less obvious expenses that sneak up and compound over time.
Damages
We’ll start with the immediate costs:
Property and vehicle damages cost tens of thousands of dollars–even more so if the vehicle or damage is beyond fixing and needs to be replaced.
Insurance
Few things in life are guaranteed, but taxes and higher insurance premiums after an accident can always be counted on.

In a time of high fuel costs and inflation, operational inefficiencies can end up costing a fleet more than ever.

Large trucks consume about .8 gallons of fuel an hour when idling, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
When you consider that the average truck...

Few businesses incur daily risks as high as those of a commercial truck fleet.
With some of the largest blind spots on the road, most hazardous cargo, and drivers who spend more time behind the wheel than passenger-vehicle drivers, higher rates of fatal accidents make sense.
Though it’s concerning, it’s no surprise that stats (courtesy of Policy Advice) as dismal as these exist:
- A large truck was somehow involved in around 74% of fatal passenger car accidents
- Passenger-vehicle occupants are 68% of all truck accident fatalities
- In 4% of the large trucks involved in fatal collisions, hazardous...
