Telematics in Trucks
What does telematics do for risks, and what does telematics do for claims? The answer is simple, nothing. Installing telematics systems and forgetting about it is like disregarding your trusty co-pilot. When it comes to risks, it’s like having a guardian angel watching over your driving habits. It keeps tabs on your speed, braking, and even how sharply you turn corners. This information is crucial for truck drivers as it helps insurers understand their safety on the road, possibly leading to lower premiums. On the other side of claims, Phil explains that telematics can provide crucial data, like the truck’s speed at impact, helping insurers figure out what happened. You can call it the black box of trucks. But at the end of the day, unless you proactively use that data, it doesn’t do anything for you.
