    No really I have insurance coverage???

    My opinion is more carriers and providers will look to it. Insurance fraud is rampant and it is often hard to find easily especially for a small provider that doesn't have the staff and resources. Some big accidents and lawsuits from these insurance scenarios are playing out right now. I think...

    I have said the very same thing from the start. I don't change course.

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Exactly what I was trying to say. We like good small carriers that do it right. They help us to service our customers and provide better service by offering more coverage options.

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    TEANA member or not. Every carrier picks who they work with. We have rules and criteria for carriers we allow to partner with us. Honestly CRE did not meet those when they started. My relationship thru TEANA and industry events over the years gave me the comfort level to vary those rules for...

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Honesty your not a carrier so not sure what you would be agreeable to or not or how that would really matter. Now an owner operator may choose to run for a VOI certified carrier as something they see as helping to assure them that their carrier has them properly covered insurance wise.

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Well Shelly and others who are well versed in insurance sit on the committee. Every carrier can analyze insurance provided to them by potential carriers themselves. They can also choose to look for third party accreditations such as TEANA provides.

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Yeah yeah. I guess anyone could say that about any trade organization. Sometimes being certified at different levels in business is a cost of business. TEANA membership is based in revenue tiers. Then you add the group discounts and often the cost is nothing. Then add the chance to network...

    A single owner operator with his own authority?

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Right now it is a part of TEANA only. Kind of like TIA certifying a brokerage. Talk of making VOI qualification mandatory to be a member. I would totally support that idea.

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Not sure they are the crooks in all this. Insurance is pretty simple premium vs loss equation. Carriers and owner operators cheating and not paying for proper coverage cost the people doing it right more. Like paying more for car insurance because of the un insured motorist.

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    Insurance isn't cheap we all know that. But the "proper" insurance comes at a price, but it comes with the proper protection. Cheap insurance that won't cover an actual loss....pretty expensive when you think about paying for nothing.

    It does have its ups and downs compared to EO. That is for sure. Good Friday morning to all!

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    I agree completely. I do believe a lot of honest owner operators think they are covered properly. As well some small multi carrier operations may also believe they are good to go. Some agents will tell a carrier what they want to hear solely to get a sale. While some carriers will cut corners...

    No really I have insurance coverage???

    I cut and pasted the latest insurance blog on here. I think this is a GREAT piece that reinforces and sums up what myself and others have been trying to say. It answers a lot of questions for people and is a great read: Why is there so much chatter on the EO threads about insurance structures...
