Driving a company owned vehicle is not limited to Semi Trucks. Many company vehicles are a fleet of cars, vans, pick-up trucks, trucks with 5th wheels, trucks with heavy towing capacity’s, vans that tow, CNG trucks & vans, flex fuel vehicles, aquatic vehicles, RV’s, trailers, and other mobile units they tow, box trucks, refrigerator trucks, school busses, buses in general, pups/smaller than full size trailers, snowmobiles, agricultural vehicles and what they tow, & virtually any type of vehicle. Driving or pulling one or more of these vehicles puts the driver at risk simply by operating one of these vehicles and being in traffic. In the United States we live with a law-suit mentality throughout the states.

Driver and company types are in a variety of categories such as: Local Drivers, Over the Road (OTR), Private, For Hire, Truckload (TL), less then truckload (LTL) could be pup/s small trailers connected (includes agricultural), or Bulk (liquid). Driver types fall into a few categories: Company Driver which is an employee of a firm will be provided with a W-2, Owner Operator which will be provided with a 1099, Independent (will have their own DOT), and Union/Non Union drivers. Service van drivers are also at risk even if the vehicle weight does not require a DOT number.
In the event of a tragic accident, everyone gets sued even the manufacture of what contents are in the trailer & or tank. Liquids are especially vulnerable because the load shifts as the vehicle moves. If the liquid or gas is flammable there is an added risk for transporting, plus HAZMAT signage is required to be visible from the exterior.
Must Know Tip: Companies that are assessed a higher score risk losing major accounts that have their own threshold of company metrics that determines which companies qualify under their point system to distribute their products. Insurance rates are higher for companies with higher scores.
Driving Record, where you drive, how old your truck is, Driver Health plus many other factors determine you continued employment as a CDL Driver.

Services through CDLP Safety includes education regarding those that drive either for themselves or a company/corporation. Also included is a place where drivers can purchase legal plans that help protect their CDL, and provide legal services in the event of things like law suits & family matters. Remember: Bad things happen to good people. It is in your best interest to have qualified legal representation.
In addition to protecting your license, which is your lively hood to get to work or use to earn an income, is protecting your family in the event that you the breadwinner are not able to work or die. Everyone should possess a Life Insurance policy or Annuity to protect their family in the event of a death or permanent disability. One of my slogans "you need life insurance - - before the need arises to use Life Insurance". I see too often funds dwindle because someone has become disabled or they die. Purchasing life insurance is much cheaper when you are young. If you secure guaranteed issue and level premiums your costs are very affordable.
