National Independent Truckers Insurance Company, RRG can offer you the best insurance rates for your long-haul truck. Drivers purchasing their own truck insurance are always eligible for the most competitive rates, but there are ways to reduce your insurance premiums even further. To begin with, it is always most cost effective to purchase insurance from a company that specializes in truck insurance, as we do.
Condition of the Truck
Unlike normal auto insurance, the age of the vehicle is not of great concern. We typically find that older trucks are much better cared for than newer trucks. With this in mind, it is the overall condition of the truck that most greatly affects your insurance rates. Making certain that breaks, tires, and other features that affect safety are in excellent condition is imperative when seeking to reduce premiums. These factors are ensured through Department of Transportation (DOT) inspection. Incidentally, DOT inspection is a requirement for truck insurance coverage.
It can never be stressed greatly enough that safety is of the greatest concern in the insurance business. Your rates can be further reduced by safety signs. "This truck makes wide turns," and such.
Safe Drivers are the Best Drivers
Your experience as a driver will also help to reduce insurance premiums. To begin with, we only insure drivers between the ages of 30 and 65. Having a good driving record will reduce your rates considerably. We will also reduce your rates when you have been with us for five years accident free.
The degree of experience you have with long-haul trucks will also be taken into consideration. We take into consideration the number of years that you have been driving as well as the lengths of employment. Trainings, such as safety schools are very helpful in this respect.
A Commitment to Personalized Service
