Accident management is one of the key services fleets use to help control costs. It wasn’t always the case; one of the pioneers of this service, Bob Martines, explains its origins, where it is today, and where it’s headed.
Tara Martines is now leading Ivyland, Pa.-based Corporate Claims Management, Inc. as its president and chief financial officer, according to the privately-held company.
Fleet policy, driver training and education, use of both in-vehicle and telematics technology, and a review of repair processes and costs can all lead to substantial reductions in accidents and related costs.
Fleet managers have a tough decision to make: whether or not to charge drivers the cost of a deductible should an accident occur.
Accident costs saw a modest increase in 2014 vs. 2013 figures, with the percentage of preventable accidents remaining mostly flat, according to Element Fleet Management, The CEI Group, Corporate Claims Management (CCM), and Fleet Response.
Corporate Claims Management (CCM) has hired Bob Zeller as its sales executive covering the northeast region, the fleet safety service provider announced.
IVYLAND, PA - Corporate Claims Management (CCM) has developed a "Guaranteed Savings" approach to the cost of operating a fleet. As part of this effort, fleet personnel have an opportunity to conduct a "30-second audit" in the comfort of their office.
On average, 20 percent of fleet vehicles are involved in accidents each year. Although this percentage has remained steady from 2005-2007, the cost of repairing these vehicles is rising.
