H.E.L.P. DeliverSAFE’s ™ digital and lighting alerts help prevent crashes by warning oncoming motorists of dangers on the road ahead.
Accident Frequency and Insurance Claim Severity on the Rise
Commercial trucking represented 71% of tonnage carried by all modes of U.S. domestic freight transportation in 2017. With more trucks on the road, there were also more accidents, including a rise in fatalities.
According to the American Trucking Association:
Beyond the Tragic Human Toll, These Crashes Come with Extensive Financial Impact:
Crashes into stationary, highly vulnerable large commercial trucks and other delivery vehicles on or along the roadway lead to thousands of preventable tragedies nationwide each year.
Nearly 25% of two-vehicle crashes involving large trucks occur when another vehicle hits them from the rear.
ESS H.E.L.P. DeliverSAFE’s™ digital alerts and emergency lighting warn oncoming motorists much earlier of dangers on the road ahead by offering:
ENHANCED EMERGENCY LIGHTING
