Gilbert Insurance Simplifies the Commercial Auto Insurance Process in Massachusetts, North Shore MA & Greater Boston
Despite the fact that we now live and work in a totally digital world, computers and mobile devices have yet to replace people as the backbone of every business. Whether you have a small start-up or a mid-sized corporation, you understand that employees are still the key to establishing and maintaining your business’ reputation and sustaining your company’s long-term success.
However, what you may not know is that these same employees might also be the single most important factor in determining your insurance premiums. In fact, when it comes to your commercial auto insurance policy, there is nothing more scrutinized by insurance carriers than the people you hire, especially those that drive your company vehicles.
What do commercial auto insurers look for?
Each year, your commercial auto insurance carrier will endeavor to review your drivers’ records. By evaluating your employees’ driving backgrounds, the carrier will see if there have been any accidents or moving violations (e.g. speeding, DUI), which would make them a higher risk to insure and, ultimately, mean higher commercial auto insurance rates for your company. In some cases, having “bad” drivers on your team might actually make you uninsurable by certain carriers.
When you are hiring people for a position that could potentially impact you financially, the last thing you want to do is add someone to the team that you hardly know anything about. Thus, it’s essential to work with an insurance partner who can help you manage the employee vetting process with both care and efficiency. Through our thorough consultative approach, the team at Gilbert Insurance will assist you in finding out what you need to know about the employees you are entrusting with your vehicles, as well as your company name, and help you hire the best drivers for your business.
In addition, your Gilbert Insurance professionals can provide advice and support on putting better risk management programs in place. Having a comprehensive vehicle repair, maintenance, and inspection plan and/or strict driver safety protocols are just a few examples of programs that can lower your commercial auto insurance premiums even further.
Our Corporate Auto/Fleet Safety Program, which can be tailored to meet your individual business needs, is designed to help you make the safety of both your employees and all other drivers on the road the highest priority. At the same time, we strongly believe that adopting this customization program can contribute to the improved efficiency of your operations, enhance the profitability of your corporation, and benefit your customers, your workforce, and your community.
