It seems like a simple equation. You have a fleet of trucks. You have a group of drivers. And you have clients who want those drivers to get in those trucks and haul their merchandise from one place to another, for which they will pay you.
It’s a can’t-miss business plan, right?
Well, sure, in a vacuum. In an ideal world, that’s all you would need to get your operations not only up and running, for going steady for the long haul.
In the actual world we live in, however, there are a number of things that can threaten your business’ success and continued operations. Trucks break down. Drivers have accidents. A simple problem can become a major crisis and derail everything, no matter how successful you might have previously been.
There’s a way to head off such threats to your success and keep your operations from falling apart at the first sign of disaster.
It’s called Fleet Risk Solutions.
Plenty of trucking companies make money and still fail. Fleet Risk Solutions is the difference between you being a profitable company, or you just subsidizing someone else’s freight.
Fleet Risk Solutions is a Georgia-based insurance and risk management company that specializes specifically in the needs of truckers and trucking fleet companies to serve their businesses and meet the unique challenges of their field.
At Fleet Risk Solutions, truckers can feel secure knowing their specialized requirements will be understood and considered and their business plans won’t be subjected to needless tinkering by people with no knowledge of the field.
Fleet Risk Solutions will also allow fleet owners to put their business concerns into the hands of people who understand the esoteric side of things, allowing them to spend more time on the part they know best: trucking.
It’s important for companies to focus on all aspects of their operation together vs separately, allowing for costs and requirements for running not only each truck, but an entire fleet and the business that goes along with it all.
And most of all, that means insurance.
No one particularly likes insurance, seeing it as sinkhole to throw money in with little benefit…until something goes wrong, at least.
Insurance is the cost you pay to transfer your risk to the insurance company that has enough capital to pay your claims. With a company like Fleet Risk Management in your corner, you can not only get the legally required amount of insurance for your fleet, but be comfortable knowing they can cover your damages should the worst happen to a truck.
So what’s it all mean for you as a truck owner? What’s the return for you and your company?
The return is a contract that indemnifies you and your trucks and an agent that helps you and your company thrive – not one that inadvertently runs you out of business.
Turn to Fleet Risk Management for your trucking fleet needs and leave the hard stuff to the pros, so you can get back to the trucks.
