Enhanced Safety Benefits for Your Fleet
Safety Consulting
Membership in ICSA gives you access to a safety consultant to discuss questions about transportation safety and compliance, event recorders, driver coaching and development, and other related issues. ICSA’s team has several years of safety management experience with large and small fleets and owner operators working as CDL drivers. ICSA focuses on being well acquainted with FMCSA regulations and commercial vehicle enforcement in each state.
Since most small fleets do not have a dedicated safety manager, a safety consultant can be a valuable asset. The extra expense required for overseeing risk reduction, training, and incident management can be overwhelming. Having a strong safety record gains the trust of clients, partners, and insurers, which can lead to business growth. Through ICSA's safety consultant, a small fleet can enhance its operational efficiency and safeguard its long-term success.
Out team is passionate about ICSA’s mission to improve highway safety. We love to hear from our members!
Model Safety Plan
Establishing a good safety culture takes time and commitment. You must build it brick by brick until it becomes something strong, like the foundation of a house. ICSA has developed its Model Safety Plan exclusively for members to assist them in building a culture of safety from the ground up. The courses include everything from effective driver hiring, to ongoing training and communication, to the crash review process.
First Gear™ Online Driver Training
This curriculum provides valuable training to commercial vehicle drivers regardless of their years of experience. In addition, First Gear provides owners in-depth information that can help them coach drivers on safety tips and tactics.
Safety Awards Program
Each quarter ICSA members are eligible to receive a cash reward for diligently embracing safety culture on the roadways. Awards are presented for first, second, and third place in both the Single Truck Operator and Small Fleet categories. The qualifications to be considered for the award include being an ICSA member in good standing for at least 12 months, compliant with all ICSA requirements, having an acceptable safety score and no accidents, losses or claims within that year.
ICSA Fleet Safety Scores
The telematics program helps standardize each member's safety result, no matter the fleet size, with accurate safety measures and impact. In the future, members will have the opportunity to know where their business and drivers rank in safety amongst other ICSA members. ICSA prides itself in making the highways safer for all drivers and supporting small fleets with the resources to be successful without disrupting preferred business operations with chosen camera and ELD providers.
