The Cover Whale Driver Safety Program is designed to promote safer driving for truck drivers and for those with whom they share the road The program comprises three key components: Telematics, Coaching, and Coverage.

Telematics:

  • Every Cover Whale auto liability policy uses robust telematics data from a connection to an existing Electronic Logging Device (ELD) or Cover Whale-provided dual-facing dashcam.
  • These devices detect aggressive driving habits including speeding, hard braking, and sharp turning.
  • Dashcams record accidents to help in determining fault when necessary, possibly exonerating drivers.

Coaching:

  • The Cover Whale Driver Safety Program allows early detection of unsafe driving through and alerts drivers through emails, texts, and phone calls.
  • Our communications promote safer driving habits, protect other motorists, and ensure insurance coverage isn't disrupted.

Coverage:

  • Cover Whale insurance empowers confident and safe freight delivery on the road.
  • Our Driver Safety Program allows us to offer competitive insurance rates, thereby reducing insurance costs.
