Truck Drivers, Does Your Company Offer The Insurance That Bonds You In Case Of An Accident / Another Car?
My husband just changed careers and is about to start driving a truck. He went to school for his CDL and then spent five weeks on the road with a ‘trainer’ and is now at headquarters finalizing his training with the company before getting his truck.
In all the paper work he is signing and insurance papers, health and life, they have offered him a what I gather is prepaid legal help in case of an accident. It gives so many thousands of dollars of bonding and bail and an attorney. It costs approx. $8 a week. By the time life and health insurance is taken out, taxes and the loan they helped with driving school the $$ are flying out the water.
We just want to know if this is something he should really have or not. I know $32 a month doesn’t sound like much but it is all mounting up. However, if advised to keep we certainly will. We are simply seeking wisdom from experienced drivers since we really don’t have any.
BTW he is driving for P.A.M. Transport.
