Understanding and Preventing Fleet Fraud

June 11th, 2025|

Fleet fraud refers to a host of deceptive activities that may occur amid the sale and operation of commercial vehicles and their individual assets (e.g., engine parts). Such fraud is a significant concern for any business that utilizes commercial vehicles, whether it’s a few small cars or a dozen tractor-trailers.

Nursing aides, orderlies and attendants have the highest incidence rate of musculoskeletal disorders, two times greater the average rate of all occupations. A recent study showed that healthcare workers sustained 47,840 injuries over a period of a year that required days away from work, the second highest of any occupation. Overexertion was the leading cause or exposure for those injuries.
