Due to adverse loss frequency and severity trends, including those caused by distracted driving, combined ratios for commercial insurers have risen to over 100%. In fact, the commercial auto underwriting losses grew from $744.8 million to slightly over $2.9 billion in 2016 (a 4x increase). In order for insurers to stay profitable, steep rates increases have become inevitable, much to the dissatisfaction of their fleet customers. In turn, in order to afford commercial premiums, fleets are playing with the numbers, such as insuring with larger deductibles and distributing risk and cost across a wider safety net to achieve a better cost.
