Hey, I have a trucking question with one of my truckers. Due to the commodities he hauls it is about 40k per truck. He is looking at buying a truck to turn his current into a spare and use the new truck. Well I ran that by the UW and due to the filings all trucks he owns need liability under that policy. I brought that answer to him and he said everyone he knows garages their truck and has a spare. I’d love some input, I know it’s a long reply so I am totally game for a phone call if anyone is free. Thanks in advance All reactions:

View 1 reply Julian JBird Weathers Top contributor I’d say about 8 out of 10 carriers are going to say if they own the truck it has to be insured. Some carriers don’t run vin reports so it doesn’t come up. This is very typical in trucking now due to so many operating trucks that aren’t listed on their scheduled unit policies and the federal filings being on the line. What’s he hauling ?

Edited View all 5 replies Answer as Justin Anthony Jared posted to Insurance Soup™ Hey group, does anyone have experience or insight on biBERK, specifically for professional liability? I just quoted a land surveyor with them and the premium is competitive, but I haven’t placed much with biBERK yet. Curious to hear any feedback on claims handling, underwriting, or overall experience. Thanks in advance!

Comment Answer as Justin Anthony Jared posted to Insurance Soup™ Hey, does anyone have any experience with pest control companies that only do heat treatments for bed bugs, lice and roaches? They do not use any chemicals. New in business and I have declinations from Markel and Westbend. I am in MO. Thanks ahead of time.
