Minimum liability insurance increase to significantly add to truckers’
Business Costs
According to the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) fleet insurance costs rose 12% between 2017 and 2018, the second fastest year-over-year growth rate. The Institute also found that, "Given the substantial insurance cost increases over the last several years, it appears that the industry has reached a ceiling in its ability to continuously cover annual double-digit increases in insurance premiums”. Here we go again, yet another regulatory overreach and a potential significant insurance increase under the guise of safety. This one we've seen more than once before - but the numbers still don't seem to support the need.

Wind will affect you as you drive no matter your speed or weight. It’s time to be prepared for driving in the wind with some tips from our loss prevention specialists.
