Western Truck Insurance Services

With budgets tightening and truckers expenses increasing daily, today’s truckers and trucking fleets are succeeding by finding truck insurance brokers that offer more value added benefits for their hard-earned dollars. This blog post and upcoming posts will focus on high quality, no-cost, benefits that can directly impact your trucking business.

I will begin with your DOT safety record, which is a very important piece of information used by brokers. They check your record, which is available online, and then other data is accumulated and added to the equation, and presto… you have insurance quotes.

Now, Let’s assume for one second that your safety record is inaccurate. In addition to the probable increased costs for insurance and the expected hassles with the DOT, you will still have to deal with the problem of correcting the record. Don’t worry, there is help, and it’s provided at no additional cost by Western Truck Insurance Services.

Western Truck Insurance Services recently informed a client of the infractions listed within the DOT’s SafeStat system. The client was in disbelief to learn that one infraction was entered twice, with different dates, and seemed unsure of how to proceed. That’s when Western Truck Insurance instantly took initiative by filing a correction to the DOT. The client’s record was updated quickly, DOT safety score was lowered, and Western Truck Insurance was able to effectively provide a much more affordable insurance solution to the client, saving the client thousands of dollars per year.

How many brokers care enough to take on the task of helping you resolve inaccuracies? Western Truck Insurance does, and they offer so much more… at no additional cost.

Now that’s a great benefit.

Stay tuned… I’m just scratching the surface.

I just stumbled across an article concerning catering truck insurance for the lunch trucks we see around. That article claimed that there were not very many agents that offer insurance coverage for this type of operation.

That may be a true statement as your general personal lines insurance agent would not understand nor work with insurance company’s that offer this coverage.   The simple fact is that anyone purchasing insurance for commercial trucks SHOULD work with an experienced commercial truck insurance specialist and not your neighborhood Allstate or Farmers agent.

Generally, the commercial truck insurance brokers have plenty of access to insurance companies who will provide the proper coverage for the catering truck business.   And don’t forget to consider both general liability and workers compensation coverages…  because many a chef inside these trucks have been hurt.

Good luck and Good Eating!!
