Progressive has rolled out a program that can track how a small fleet or owner-operator drives, with a 15% discount just for signing up. The insurer announced Snapshot Pro on Nov. 10. It is offered in most states, though not in Alaska, Hawaii, Montana or Washington, and only some California customers qualify, according to Progressive's announcement.

What it is

Snapshot Pro combines two older Progressive programs, Snapshot ProView and Smart Haul, into one, the company says. It is available to most commercial auto customers, including small businesses, owner-operators and small fleets.

Eligible customers can connect an approved telematics device or electronic logging device they already use. Or they can use a device Progressive provides. Those company devices come with a driving dashboard that shows fleet activity, trip history, driving insights and safety ratings. Progressive says that information can help with coaching and day-to-day decisions.

"Businesses are looking for practical tools that help them operate more efficiently, manage costs and foster safe driving behavior," said Luke Harmer, Progressive's commercial lines telematics product leader.

The discounts

The dashcam offer was expanded to all business classes, CCJ reports. The final price at renewal still depends on driving behavior, eligibility and state rules, Progressive says.

Where it is not offered

The program is not available in Alaska, Hawaii, Montana or Washington. Because of regulatory requirements, only some California customers are eligible.

Why it matters to truckers

Insurance is one of the biggest costs for a one-truck operation. A discount can help, but owner-operators should weigh it against sharing detailed driving data, and remember that savings at renewal depend on how the truck is driven. A tool like the owner-operator profit calculator can show how a premium change affects the bottom line.

A question for readers

Truckers, would you let your insurance company watch every trip for a shot at a lower premium?
