There is a case where truck drivers were required to arrive at work early in the morning where there was no trucks available for the driver to do his work, and the drivers had to wait in the employer’s truck yard, without pay, until a truck was issued to them.
After a time of reviewing and the process of trial for these actions, the trucking company was forced to repay compensation to the drivers.
We are all humans first and then people of business. Don’t forget this and give your employees the right they are entitled to, because if you do not treat them right, you may be slapped with a low suit which can be more expensive.
Companies Not Paying Insurance
Cargo insurance is to protect the freight from possible damage during transport. When the trucking company selects Truck Cargo insurance, also select a limit for the coverage.

This limit determines the maximum amount that the insurance company will pay for damaged or destroyed cargo. Also means that trucking company needs to choose a deductible, which is the agreed amount that will pay out of pocket in case of a claim.
