Insurance Losses by Make and Model
Compare loss information for hundreds of vehicles under six types of coverage for damage, injuries and theft. The study provides tables containing results for passenger vehicles grouped by class and size under six insurance coverages: collision, property damage liability, comprehensive, personal injury protection, medical payment and bodily injury.
The percentage and color coding help consumers see which models have insurance losses that are better or worse than average. Since they are displayed by size and class, they also show how individual vehicles compare with similar models.
Results are adjusted to reduce possible distortions from other nonvehicle factors — operator age, calendar year, density, gender, marital status, model year, risk (standard or nonstandard) and state. Collision and comprehensive also are adjusted for deductible amount. These insurance loss results generally are good predictors of the experience of current versions of the same vehicle models.

Four Ways FLD’s Webaccess Online Tool Helps Customers Take Control of the Remarketing Process
By Carol Fowler, Director of Business Development/FLD Remarketing
Traditional vehicle remarketing has many moving parts. Consigning vehicles. Transporting them. Funneling them to third-party sellers like auctions and dealers. Waiting for payment to finally arrive.

But of all the ways we help make a customer's job easier and them more effective perhaps nothing sets FLD apart from our competition like our WebAccess solution, a single online dashboard that helps fleets monitor and manage their entire remarketing universe in real time from any device, anytime, anywhere!
People Are Leaving Jobs in Droves. Here’s What Makes Them Stay.
Over the last 24 months, every employer has been scrambling to meet the needs of a fast-changing workforce. Too often this means playing defense, reacting to the next obstacle. Now is the time for leaders to go on offense, to build environments that attract talent, and create a people and organizational competitive advantage.

This is an opportunity to do away with bureaucracy and non-value-added processes and meetings, and really re-think how an organization works.

Here’s How GM Plans to Roll Out 40,000 Public Fast Chargers in North America
General Motors announced last week that it's making a roughly $750 million investment into electric vehicle charging but didn't really give any details about what that would actually entail. Now, though, the manufacturer has explained that the first step starts in 2022, with 40,000 public fast chargers being installed across the United States and Canada.
The chargers will be installed organically, GM says, to address what it calls "charging deserts" where communities are significantly under-served by public chargers.
Of GM's 4,500-and-a-few dealerships across the U.S. and Canada, each one can request to become part of the Dealer Community Charging Program and GM has allocated roughly ten chargers per dealership. When the store is signed up, then GM will—with the dealer—identify good locations nearby to install chargers and work to get agreements with them.
