Meet Jeremy
Experience from every side of the road.
Jeremy Croft has spent more than 20 years working in commercial vehicle safety—from roadside enforcement and federal investigations to evaluating fleet risk from the commercial insurance side.
Jeremy served as a Florida State Trooper specializing in Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, conducting roadside inspections and investigating crashes. He later spent more than a decade as an FMCSA Safety Investigator, conducting federal compliance investigations and helping train new investigators.
His work in insurance risk and loss control added another perspective: evaluating how operating practices, inspection results, and crashes affect a carrier's risk. He founded Fleet Safety Advisors as a new advisory practice grounded in how trucking operations actually work.
“I don’t just want to know whether the paperwork is there. I want to know what is actually happening and where the process is breaking down.”Read Jeremy's full professional background
