Its new Truck Reliability and Usage Safety Tracker (TRUST) is a safety index that aims to provide benchmarks that address safety within the private fleet sector. Private-fleet-specific KPIs are designed to help organizations improve areas of specific operations and elevate their overall CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, fatalities from fatal large truck crashes continue to rise. However, according to TRUST, the Unsafe Driving Score average for the top private fleets is 11.5, which is a positive.

“At Fleet Advantage, we understand that having the right mix of fleet safety data and performance benchmarks is important for improving the culture of safety for private fleets,” said Katerina Jones, Chief Marketing Officer of Fleet Advantage.
“By incorporating safety into the total cost of ownership and life cycle cost management, we empower organizations to build and protect a culture where safety is prioritized in every part of their operations, ultimately leading to safer roads, drivers, and more efficient fleets.”
