Truck Insurance

Pinching pennies is nothing new.  During the Great Depression everyone had to pinch pennies, cut back, patch clothing and patch it again and make due with what you had.

Things may not be quite that bad, yet.  Those things out of your control like fuel prices and food prices are just that, out of your control so don’t worry about them you’ll only make yourself sick trying.  Look at the things that are in your control like your insurance expense.

Just like the multitude of insurance companies out there, so it is with trucking software companies.  But not all are equal.  Here at Easy Trucking Software we pride ourselves on our outstanding customer service that is the foundation of our operation.  We pack a lot of tools into our software for a reasonable cost, giving you the reports you need and want.  We can help you keep your business on track for success just as your insurance carrier can help shield your business with a blanket of insurance protection.

Insurance companies too have a lot of tools at their fingertips to aid in your decision making of what coverage is right for you.  There are many insurance carriers out there to choose from to do business with.  Here are a few things you may want to consider when you next review your truck insurance.

It is a good idea to review your coverages if:

• Your insurance agent deals mostly with homeowners and auto insurance and knows very little about the trucking industry but writes a policy here and there.  You want a professional in trucking insurance to help guide you through the process to make good decisions for your business and to answer your questions.  You want a reputable and knowledgeable agent.
• You have had your insurance for more than a year or have recently had an accident or near accident.  Don’t get caught on the short end of missing or a lack of proper coverage.  Don’t rely on the other person having insurance coverage because some do not, crazy as that is.
• You have recently bought a different or new truck or are adding an additional truck for your business.  Adequate coverage at a minimum is a must.  One accident could put you into financial ruin without sufficient coverage.  You also do not want to be insurance poor by paying too much  for the coverage you want or for coverage you do not need.  Shop around and compare costs and agencies.
• You get an unexpected bill from your insurance carrier.  Something has changed with your insurance or new policies going into effect by your carrier and now is a good time to review your policy.   Sit down and review your policy in depth if needed to get a clear understanding of what you are paying for and why.

Work with a reputable insurance company and agent.   Ask other truckers who they use and whether or not they would recommend their company.  Word of mouth is a powerful thing and people are always willing to share what they think, good or bad.  Outstanding customer service should be a given when dealing with your insurance carrier.  If you are not treated well why are you doing business with them and giving them your premium dollars?
