Carrier Participation

Carrier Coverage

Legal coverage for member carrier violations. Professional drivers may be more likely to receive a citation than the average motorist, but sometimes the citation issued doesn’t target the driver at all. When a participating carrier is cited for a violation, Open Road Drivers Plan® will provide legal representation.

The Open Road Drivers Plan® will help you select an attorney in the jurisdiction where the citation was received to represent the carrier’s interests in resolving the alleged violation. Access to this service is included with carrier plan membership.

Reporting

Receive detailed driver infraction reports.

When your drivers get violations and they use Open Road Drivers Plan®, you will receive a detailed report identifying the driver, violation (moving or non-moving), date and location of the incident. Better tracking of driver infractions gives you more insight into driver safety. Regular reporting keeps you ahead of the safety curve.

Positive outcomes in court may also be utilized to submit requests for data review (RDRs) through the DataQs system. A carrier’s BASIC scores are influenced by a driver’s violation history. Being informed of driver citations and outcomes is in the carrier’s best interest.


Recruiting

Recruit and Retain Qualified, Professional Drivers.

For more than 20 years, safety directors have used the Open Road Drivers Plan® as one element within their comprehensive driver benefit programs.  And the program has been specifically designed to help fleet management attract and retain drivers while minimizing administrative burden on the carrier.

A trained Open Road Drivers Plan® representative is available to attend your driver orientations, answer their questions about the program, and help them get started immediately. Your drivers can leave your orientation room and get on the road with an Open Road Drivers Plan® temporary membership card in their wallets and qualified legal support available to them, should they need it.

And, because drivers rarely need to appear in court themselves, Open Road Drivers Plan® saves carriers the time and expense associated with rerouting or replacing a driver.


Payment Services
