Infinit-I improves risk, ensures compliance, and proves your commitment to safety; all of which are major considerations in insurance risk evaluations. Here’s what you need to do…
Identify Risky Behaviors
Review your loss runs, rising maintenance expenses, and recurring violations. Flag the issues that stand out. These are the topics you should proactively cover in training.
Train Frequently & Consistently
Change doesn’t happen right away. Your objective is to change behaviors. Does a teenager take out the trash the first time you ask? Probably not. Even professionals need frequent, recurring reminders of the best way to operate safely and consistently.
Your job is not only to target training to your company’s specific trouble areas. It’s also to provide frequent and consistent training to keep your team focused on what matters.
Require Participation
The only training that works is the training that’s used. You must require participation. There are many ways to do that, from incentivizing with bonuses to enforcing through dispatch holds or other punitive measures. Many of our clients use a combination to ensure participation. Most use communication and leadership buy-in to help with accountability.
Document Everything
You must inspect what you expect. There’s no accountability without documentation. Document all training and coaching. Retain the records for insurance renewals and in case of an accident.

Online Training to Reduce Accidents and Build Safety Culture
What if you could stop an accident before it even happens? You wouldn’t be living in fear of a crash. You wouldn’t have as many maintenance expenses. You wouldn’t have as many claims—your loss runs wouldn’t make your insurance renewal painful. AND you’d demonstrate to underwriters that your company takes proactive measures to prevent costly issues.
You CAN control your risks with proactive training. That’s exactly what insurance providers want to see. Our online training platform and industry-leading content makes it easy to implement, manage, and monitor.
What You Can Do to Button Up Your Defense Before an Accident Even Happens
Steve Setliff, a top transportation defense attorney and leading industry expert, created this course to teach managers and drivers what to do before and after an accident to make them more defendable. His techniques help trucking companies better navigate the legal system and cover their assets.
Your insurance provider will thank you for taking this course and implementing simple protective measures across your company that will help regardless of settlement or court case.
At-the-Scene Evidence Collection Tool
Evidence walks away the moment an accident happens. It’s critical that your drivers have the tools they need to document the accident for future claims and defense. The accident checklist was built with input from leading trucking defense attorneys and insurance providers. It includes photo and video evidence collection and helpful reminders for flustered drivers.
If you’ve ever lost track of accident witnesses or not had enough photos of the scene, you know that this tool will save you when you’re forced to defend a settlement or lawsuit.
Implementing an effective training program isn’t hard with Infinit-I AND it can significantly reduce operational costs by improving insurance coverage and overall operational performance, therefore increasing your bottom line.
Reducing accidents and claims also means you’ll spend less time dealing with lawsuits, depositions, and settlements. Read more about how proactive training can improve your legal defense.
