Welcome, You're probably starting to see the holiday season creeping into retail stores already. Before we know it, we'll be celebrating with family and friends. Of course, the fleet business is not immune to that trend as you optimize logistics and shipping flow as operations ramp up. S.W.A.N. is here to support our fleet clients in meeting these kinds of seasonal demands. Should you have any questions or challenges, please don't hesitate to reach out. In cross-border news, our team participated this month in a fun and informative ride-and-drive event with the Otay Mesa Chamber of Commerce. Attendees had an opportunity to get behind the wheel, test drive the latest truck models, and connect with fellow industry professionals. We have been working closely with one of our valued cross-border fleets on their six-month report from our Advanced Risk Management (ARM) program. This program helps safety and compliance teams proactively manage their operations under U.S. and federal motor carrier regulations. The analysis highlights performance in categories such as Unsafe Driving, Hours of Service, Driver Fitness, Vehicle Maintenance and Controlled Substances. Should you have questions about how to optimize your fleet for safety and keep vehicles on the road and earning, connect with our Division Manager, Michael Goldsmith, AIS, CSS, LC, TRS. In this issue we also explore what the "V" in our DRIVE program embodies, our plans for more thought leader videos from the upcoming NEMTAC Conference, and our select designation as a Highway Certified Insurance Agency. Until next month, we appreciate your being part of our S.W.A.N. community. We welcome your input on how we can support you as you grow your business. As always, we're here to help you Sleep Well At Night. Simply reply to this email or contact us online by clicking here. Thank you, Chris Mahlberg, TRS Founder & Owner S.W.A.N.

V in DRIVE Builds Value-Add for Proactive Fleet Operators Let's consider the "V" in our DRIVE program. We created DRIVE to support fleets in becoming safer, stronger and more insurable. It's an innovative and proactive approach to help you be positioned as best in class. "V" stands for "Value-Adds That Actually Move the Needle." That means tangible support like: • Centralized document dashboard • 24/7 certificate access • AI-flagging of potential issues • Monthly risk management reporting • In-house claims advocacy • Legal support for claims and breakage The goal is to help you be ready when renewal time comes around so you'll have all the information you need to not only get the most competitive quotes possible, but have insurance carriers competing for your business. All this can mean a hefty $125,000 to $245,000 in estimated annual operational impact! We're happy to share more about the potential impact of this program for your fleet. Learn more at the link below and contact us when you're ready to discuss.

Create Thought Leader Videos With S.W.A.N. at NEMTAC Conference The annual NEMTAC Transform conference in August is one of the preeminent events in the world of non-emergency medical transportation. We'll be exhibiting at booth #238 and would love to see you if you're planning to attend the conference Aug. 16-19 in Orlando. Attendees span the full gamut of professionals in the industry including brokers, providers, payers, regulators and technology partners who are there to explore the trends, tools and innovations shaping the future of healthcare transportation. This year, our team will be shooting short-form video interviews at our booth with industry thought leaders like yourself.

S.W.A.N. Garners Designation as Highway Certified Insurance Agency A leading carrier identity technology platform called Highway recently launched the Highway Certified Insurance Agency program. Agencies designated for the program meet defined standards for accuracy, completeness and timeliness of data as part of an effort to bring shared accountability, transparency and enforceable standards across the brokered freight ecosystem. S.W.A.N. is now a proud member of the Highway Certified Network, along with a very select group of agencies. Advantages for freight brokers include: • Stronger, more reliable insurance signals at the point of carrier selection • Reduced exposure to fraud and stale insurance data • The ability to incorporate certification into compliance workflows Carriers with a Highway Certified Insurance Agency can see faster approvals, fewer compliance delays, and a stronger position when brokers are deciding where to place a load. This is just the latest example of our ongoing mission to serve as an exemplary partner with innovative resources for our fleets as they strive to evolve and grow. We invite you to learn more about the network here and contact Cross-Border Director Kevin Mealey to learn how you and your business can benefit from solutions like these.
