No matter what you are hauling having a comprehensive truck insurance policy could make a world of difference. Here are some things to keep when mind when you are out on the open road.


Know your blind spots. These are areas around your truck where you cannot see vehicles. Many of the accidents involving cars and large trucks occur there. Some drivers may assume you can see them no matter their locations. Because of their ignorance, it is more up to you to prevent an accident.

Utilize your height in the cab to anticipate your reaction to the conditions ahead. Always leave considerable length between you and the next vehicle ahead. The turning radius and stopping distance gives truck drivers less time and options. The added length provides for increased reaction time when approaching hazardous spots.

Some drivers who have never been behind the wheel of anything bigger than a sedan may have trouble understanding the risk posed by larger vehicles. How many times has a small car suddenly jumped into your lane with only feet between you? These drivers are unaware of the size, power, and momentum that come along with serious cargo. 

This is another unquestionable reason to be insured – the unpredictability of other drivers. You may do everything imaginable to set yourself on a safe course of travel, but you cannot control those choices for others on the road.

Whatever your cargo, do your best to protect it and yourself from the hazards of the highway. When things do go wrong however, solid truck insurance could offer financial assistance to get your truck back on the road quickly. Ask us how coverage for your truck may help protect your investment.
