Why are a growing number of trucking fleets winding up in Facility Association?

  • Insurance companies are increasing the premiums on some trucking companies by almost 200% from previous years
  • A lot of the companies are being non-renewed and are ending up in the facility market
  • The trucking companies that are not being non-renewed are still preferring to go into the facility market due to their looser driver hiring practices. All the regular insurance companies require 3 years of experience (proven with letters from insurance company as well). With a shortage of experienced drivers, only new ones are being hired without significant experience.
  • We are lobbying elected officials to provide solutions in lowering the insurance cost
    • Trucking companies are ready to implement new technology and safety measures, but insurance companies are still giving them a hard time.
