National Interstate Insurance Customers May Identify Quality Drivers Through 160 Driving Academy

Offers trucking companies ability to assess and certify drivers through an independent, 90-minute driving exam

National Interstate Insurance Company (National Interstate) trucking policyholders, through National Interstate’s safety services affiliate, Safety, Claims & Litigation Services, LLC (SCLS), now have access to a unique service through 160 Driving Academy, a nationwide provider of commercial driver education, training and driver scoring and evaluation services.

National Interstate customers will have access to 160 Driving Academy’s innovative driver recruitment, training, and driver assessment capabilities at competitive pricing. Policyholders can have their drivers assessed and certified at 160 Driving Academy locations or at a policyholder’s location using 160 Driving Academy’s proprietary scoring system. This unique capability enables a trucking company to assess and predict driving behavior and risks through 160 Driving Academy’s industry-first independent scoring system.

“The search for safe and qualified drivers continues to dominate headlines in the trucking and transportation space,” said Paul Stock, Vice President of Loss Control and Claims Services, National Interstate. “Historically, trucking and insurance companies have had little visibility into a driver’s actual driving history and capability. With 160 Driving Academy’s 90-minute driver evaluation process, transportation operators can assess individual driving capability prior to a prospective driver getting behind the wheel.”

“National Interstate, SCLS, and 160 Driving Academy share a common vision of championing safe driving,” said Steve Gold, Founder of 160 Driving Academy. “We believe through this unique arrangement with National Interstate customers, trucking companies of all sizes can have a common evaluation and scoring process for drivers across our nation’s highways.”
