Fleet safety

Enhancing driver safety and reducing costs.

Organizations that manage a fleet face a range of risks, impacting both their people and other motorists or pedestrians. Vehicle incidents can result in significant costs, including claims, increased insurance premiums, and retentions. Additionally, price hikes for parts and supply shortages have led to rising vehicle repair and replacement costs, which can add pressure to budgets. Fleet owners like you may struggle to hire and retain qualified drivers, highlighting the need for effective recruiting, onboarding, and tailored training.

At Marsh, our team of transportation industry veterans specializes in fleet safety and management. We build long-term relationships with clients, providing strategic guidance to help achieve continuous safety improvements while helping you lower your auto risk profile. Our team works with individual drivers to address specific concerns and collaborate with safety managers to instill a safe environment throughout the entire organization. Our extensive services can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you require updates to align with safety regulations, cost reduction, or access to better insurance rates.
