Fall brings shorter days—and more deer activity near Wisconsin and Minnesota roadways. For businesses with employees driving between job sites, deliveries, or client appointments, that can mean a higher risk of collisions, injuries, and vehicle downtime.

A few reminders for your team:
• Stay alert at dawn and dusk, when deer are most active
• Slow down in posted deer-crossing areas
• If a deer enters the road, brake firmly and avoid swerving when it is safe to do so
• Report any collision promptly, even if damage seems minor

This is also a good time to review your commercial auto insurance coverage. Our team at Smart Stop Brokers can help you understand your options and make sure your business vehicles have protection that fits your needs.
