TRUCK Program

A 2004 Industry Survey indicated that over 85% of component manufacturers owns or leases a fleet of commercial motor vehicles (CMV). However, only a third has developed what they consider to be a formal driver training program. Product transport is one of the greatest sources of risk and liability a component manufacturer faces. Product transport also presents a significant injury risk, from loading and unloading of product, to travel on public roads. TRUCK is a comprehensive, industry-specific program that addresses the safety, risk and compliance aspects of material handling, product transport and safe operation of equipment.

“Insurance companies evaluate several factors in setting the premiums for auto/truck insurance. Those companies that have a formal driver training program can realize significant savings to their insurance premiums— not only by having the program in place, but by having trained employees who commit less mistakes that result in claims.” —Richard Langton, Wood Products Insurance Manager, Bowermaster & Associates
