OCTO, a global leader in telematics data analytics, and TruckerCloud, the leading commercial auto insurance telematics data platform, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate telematics adoption across the US Commercial Auto market.
Concurrently, OCTO is launching a line of high-granularity, in-vehicle installed telematics solutions purpose-built for Commercial Insurers. OCTO’s hardware delivers accurate DriveAbility® risk scoring, already approved for Commercial line in about 35 US States, alongside instant crash detection and reconstruction for FNOL and claims cost reductions. The solution also includes a complimentary driver coaching and rewards mobile application, enabling fleet managers to monitor driving behavior, promote safety, and incentivize drivers through monetary rewards.
Through this partnership, OCTO’s proprietary DriveAbility® Score can be integrated directly into the TruckerCloud platform for fleet vehicles, class 1-6, using OCTO’s telematics solutions. The joint offering provides insurers and fleets streamlined access to actionable telematics data, driver risk insights, and underwriting support through a single ecosystem.
TruckerCloud connects heavy-vehicle fleets to roughly 200 ELD, camera, and telematics systems through its normalization platform, and offers FleetFile, its own crash risk score for heavy-duty lines. By pairing this broad reach with OCTO’s granular data analytics and crash intelligence for Commercial vehicles Classes 1–6, the collaboration bridges the gap between the heavy vehicles fleet already connected with the 2/3 of remaining lighter fleet vehicles that are today not connected, the Class 1-6.
Commercial Auto insurers using TruckerCloud can now leverage OCTO’s solutions for Class 1–6 vehicles fleets to enhance risk segmentation, underwriting and claims cost reductions.
"This collaboration represents a major step forward for Commercial Auto innovation," said Nino Tarantino, President of OCTO North America. "TruckerCloud has established itself as a trusted connectivity layer between insurers, fleets, and providers. Together, we are making it seamless for insurers to leverage predictive driving data and advanced risk scoring to improve underwriting performance, enhance road safety, and drive profitable growth."
"Our goal is to create the most comprehensive, open telematics ecosystem for Commercial Auto," said Spencer Mitchell, Founder and CEO of TruckerCloud. "By combining our aggregation capabilities with OCTO’s proven hardware solutions and DriveAbility® Score, we are empowering insurers to access high-quality insights faster and with greater flexibility than ever before."

Frequently asked questions
How does the OCTO and TruckerCloud partnership improve commercial auto underwriting?
The partnership improves underwriting by integrating OCTO’s DriveAbility® Score directly into the TruckerCloud platform. This provides insurers with high-granularity data and predictive driving insights for Class 1-6 vehicles, allowing for more accurate risk segmentation and pricing across 35 US states where the scoring is already approved.
What vehicle classes are covered by the new OCTO and TruckerCloud solution?
The solution specifically targets Commercial vehicles in Classes 1–6. This focus bridges the gap in the market where approximately two-thirds of lighter fleet vehicles currently lack the connectivity and advanced telematics insights typically found in heavy-duty long-haul fleets.
Does the OCTO telematics solution help with insurance claims?
Yes, OCTO’s hardware includes instant crash detection and reconstruction capabilities. These features support First Notice of Loss (FNOL) processes, allowing insurers to respond faster to incidents and significantly reduce claims handling costs through accurate digital evidence.
