  • Innovating Trucking Insurance with HDVI's Telematics-Based Model

    Innovating Trucking Insurance with HDVI's Telematics-Based Model
    Apr 26 2024

    This episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast features guests Justin Allen and Mark Brest from HDVI, discussing their innovative, telematics-based pricing model for trucking insurance.

    This model offers a more accurate, performance-based approach to insurance pricing, focusing particularly on small to mid-sized fleets and owner-operators in the United States. By analyzing 90 days of telematics data, HDVI can offer discounts of up to 20%, potentially saving fleets substantial amounts in annual premiums.

    The discussion highlights the benefits of using telematics data for real-time risk assessment and insurance cost reduction, emphasizing the need for trucking companies to utilize their data effectively to improve safety and insurance rates. HDVI's approach also includes providing dash cams to insured fleets, enhancing their ability to defend against or mitigate claims.

    The podcast wraps up with insights on the future of telematics in insurance and the importance of adopting technology to stay competitive.
