Insurance companies will examine how our company operates and the costs could increase if drivers in our company has risky working patterns.

This should make sure that we could hire people with safety-conscious mindset.
It is also risky if we don’t report new drivers. In general, we should always report new drivers that we hire to the insurance company.

There are also additional measures that we could implement, such as ensuring the drivers have proper education. We need to communicate with our employees regularly about driver safety.
