- Occupational Accident Coverage: Protect the Company by Protecting the Drivers
As any motor carrier knows, America runs on trucks. Motor carriers play a vital role in keeping the factories and offices supplied and the store shelves stocked. But these motor carriers also are aware of the intrinsic risks associated with constantly being on the road.

There are alternatives to traditional coverage that may help businesses control costs. According to Lorna Greenwood, program manager at US Risk Underwriters, some general contractors opt for Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability coverage in lieu of coverage because it offers customizab...

The trucking market has obstacles coming from all sides. The cost of fuel is skyrocketing, and some independent drivers have chosen to park their rigs because they cannot afford to run with such high overhead. This is coupled with a number of other factors to produce a driver shortage that has risen to an all-time high. Consequently, in order to be successful insuring trucking companies and owner operators, underwriters must pay close attention to driving records, hiring practices, and driver training. Underwriters should really concentrate on the income statement and cash flow to make sure the trucking company is healthy enough to properly maintain equipment and make payroll. Michael Oliver, SVP at BISYS Specialty Programs, says there have been few new insurance carrier entrants in the...
