Is Your Truck Insurance Roadworthy?
April 1, 2011
What makes you Roadworthy? We feel like we can help with some insight here. Donn Koonce from Commercial Truck Insurance
specialists Lupke Rice Roadworthy Truck Insurance provides insight. When we asked Donn to consider
how to provide better value to our customers, one of the first thoughts was to "know what the
trucker deals with". To follow through on this Donn Koonce became a trucker! He spent a few months
time learning the business from behind the wheel by going to class and getting his CDL license. We
documented the whole thing right here in our Truck Insurance School videos.
What did Donn learn?
Safety comes with good equipment, ongoing maintenance and best practices with driving.
Donn learned that driving a commercial truck is more than just grabbing the big wheel. It takes time
outside of the truck to make sure you are in a good position to hit the road. The safety inspection is a
requirement of the job, but Donn doesn't just know about it, he's done it.
Speed in a truck and speed in a car are two very different things. Keeping your
license clean is critical, but it comes with a whole new set of challenges. Donn knows the
challenges faced too. A traffic ticket means more than just a hefty fine, it also can affect a
truckers job!
Insurance. Commercial Truck Insurance can be expensive, and saving money is
important, especially for owner operators. Donn has put a focus on trucking so that he can provide
the best resources for the Trucker. One of the things that we pride ourselves in, is caring about
the Trucker, heck some of us ARE Truckers!
