High Definition Vehicle Insurance (HDVI)

Brake-related violations are the leading cause of vehicle out-of-service orders and can severely impact a fleet's vehicle maintenance CSA scores. As we approach the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week, which begins this Sunday, August 25, and runs through Sunday, August 31, Mark Brest, Senior Fleet Services Operations Manager at HDVI, discusses the importance of consistent brake maintenance. He shares tips for fleets to prioritize brake maintenance not just during this dedicated week but as a regular, ongoing practice. #brakesafetyweek #brakesafety #fleetmanagement #fleetsafety

It’s been just over a year since HDVI started processing claims in-house. We recently sat down with Karla Ferguson, our VP of Claims, to discuss the positive impacts it has had on our fleet customers and agents. One key highlight: Our adjusters are now resolving physical damage claims in an average of 33 days, compared to 52 days previously—a 37% improvement!

"Cameras are almost ubiquitous at this point," Adam Barnett, Chief Underwriting Officer at HDVI. During a panel at the Motor Carrier Insurance Education Foundation’s annual conference, Adam discussed why fleets are increasingly adopting cameras and the benefits they bring. He highlighted how cameras protect drivers and help keep insurance rates lower by reducing claims, creating a win-win situation for the entire industry. Take a look at the video for more of Adam's thoughts. #fleet #fleetsafety #risk #insurance
