ATTENTION COMMERCIAL
DRIVERS & FLEET OWNERS: LOWER YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS
|
THE PROBLEM:
By the very nature of your occupation, the majority of commercial drivers (both local and over the road) are excellent safety conscious chauffeurs, male and female alike. So why are you paying exorbitant commercial liability insurance premiums? The answer is quite simple. There are a certain percentage of commercial drivers who throw caution to the wind, and create a negative stigma for every other driver throughout the industry, nationally. You know who they are, and you know their habits. Their equipment isn't always in good shape. Maintenance isn't always up to par. They are constantly overloaded, their tires are worn beyond the acceptable range, they speed, tailgate and usually have a "liquid lunch," on a daily basis. You know who they are. It's common place to watch them enter their vehicles with a "six pack" under their arms, generally the king size cans, and drive away. You know who they are. They operate their trucks, buses, taxi's, limousines, trains, planes and ships, while under the influence of alcohol. You know who they are. They are the reason that your insurance rates are so ridiculously excessive, THAT'S WHO THEY ARE!
And unfortunately, this time you can't blame the insurance companies. After all, just one alcohol related accident can cost an insurer tens of millions of dollars, and then some. Who pays for it? YOU DO OF COURSE!
According to statistics, alcohol impaired drivers who are arrested, have an average Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .20%, which is more than double the level set for legal intoxication in most states. However, the next statistic is perhaps the most disturbing, The relative risk of being killed, or involved in a crash with a BAC of ,08% to .10% is anywhere between 11 and 52 times greater than drivers at 0.00% (no alcohol.) Now here's the scary part, guess who racks up the most amount of miles driven on our roads, streets and highways? YOU DO, the CDL driver. Guess who's exposed to the most DWI accidents? YOU ARE OF COURSE, now guess who's at greatest risk. YOU ARE, THAT'S WHO!
Frightening statistics? You bet, they are. And even though these statistics are a real and shocking enigma, there is a solution, Read On...
WHY INTERLOCKS? and WHY NOW? This question can easily be answered in just 3 sentences;
1. Reduction of overhead through a significant decrease in insurance premiums.
2. Increase in profits due to a reduction in overhead, for installing an Interceptor C-2 ignition interlock in your vehicle.
3. Safety, Reliability & Cost Effectiveness in one product.
And here's the best part, even if you never drink anything stronger than water, using the C-2 will become completely transparent to you. As a matter of fact, the only thing you will notice is the increase in your bottom line profits, which equates to more money in your pocket each and every week!
THE SOLUTION:
Although Interlocks have been around for more than 25 years, their biggest
problem is just that. The technology is also over 25 years old. Suffice to say,
not only is the technology antiquated, but no manufacturer, and I mean no
manufacturer has committed the resources to develop new technology,
EXCEPT INTERCEPTOR IGNITION INTERLOCKS INC.
Our engineering team spent more than 3 years,
researching and developing the next generation of Ignition Interlocks, the
Ultimate Weapon in the War Against Drunk Driving,
the C-2, specifically and exclusively designed for All CDL Drivers,
to assist in preventing this from happening to you?.
Since the Commercial market is infinitely different from the Mandate [court ordered installations for convicted DWI offenders] and Voluntary [personal use] markets, totally unique and innovative concepts regarding the function of a Commercial product, had to be pioneered. This task was accomplished by attending Truck, Bus and Commercial Vehicle trade shows, and interviewing CDL drivers from around the country. After learning how their driving habits, and general operation of their vehicles differ from passenger cars, we set out to develop the necessary technology to accommodate this vast marketplace. For example, although the national BAC is set at .08% , for drivers 21 and over, the law is quite different and quite specific for commercial drivers. In this arena [CDL drivers] the BAC level has been reduced to 0.04% . But don't feel bad, because for drivers under 21 years of age (non CDL) there is a zero tolerance level [0.00% BAC,] or in other words, no alcohol consumption whatsoever!
Furthermore, the 1995 Omnibus Transportation Act passed by Congress, requires companies to randomly test drivers for alcohol consumption. Unfortunately, random testing could not ensure that a commercial driver will not drink after an alcohol test has been administered, or when a driver has not been randomly selected for such a test. In other words, the technology never caught up with the law...until now!
Anyone can see the immediate need for a high tech, state of the art electronic Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock which can assist in the reduction, and / or prevention of DWI incidence. All other attempts at curtailing Drunk Driving have had little or no effect on stopping this world wide enigma.
Using Interceptor's C-2 interlock can virtually assure that commercial drivers cannot drink alcohol while operating their vehicles, which by the way insurance companies just love. We accomplish this with real time, non-invasive 24 hour monitoring, at no extra cost to you whatsoever, as illustrated below.
The savings on insurance premiums in one year alone justifies the cost of installing a commercial interlock in all of their vehicles. Using the C-2 also protects you from a DWI conviction, which as you know means the automatic revocation of your CDL license, which your family's support depends on. It's a win-win situation for everyone, with no downside whatsoever!
Thanks to cutting edge technology developed by Interceptor Ignition Interlocks Inc., exclusively for use in their Interlock products, the C-2 is considered to be the Ultimate Weapon in the War against Drunk Driving for CDL drivers, whether they are Owner/Operators, or employees. Absolutely no other Ignition Interlock manufacturer can offer all of the features that are standard on Interceptor's products. The reason for this is that all other manufacturers simply have not developed the technology for these features yet. And even if they started right now, it would take years for them to catch up to the C-2, which is available to you right now!
However this solution can only become effective with the complete and total participation of CDL drivers and Insurance Companies working together, to provide safer roads for each and every driver everywhere,
AND TO ASSIST IN PREVENTING THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN...
