HAVE YOU BEEN FLOCKED? 👀🚛

Recently, I worked with a motor carrier whose commercial liability policy was cancelled for allegedly operating a truck that wasn’t listed on his insurance policy.

The carrier was baffled. He hadn’t been operating a truck that wasn’t on his policy, and the insurance company initially refused to provide information about the vehicle they claimed he was operating.

After getting the Insurance Commissioner involved, we learned that a Flock camera had captured the tag number and USDOT/MC number on a truck that had previously been leased to the motor carrier.

The lease had since been terminated.

The carrier had documentation showing when the lease ended, but unfortunately, he wasn’t given the opportunity to provide it before his policy was cancelled.

So why does this matter to you?

Flock cameras are out there capturing vehicle information, and insurance companies are using that information to help verify the trucks operating under a motor carrier’s authority.

If you’ve sold a truck, terminated a lease, or had equipment leave your company, don’t assume removing it from your insurance policy is the end of it.

Make sure your USDOT/MC numbers are removed from the truck and keep an eye on your safety data. Is there an inspection, crash, or vehicle showing under your company that shouldn’t be there?

Sometimes the first clue that something isn’t right is already sitting in your FMCSA record.

Not sure what your safety data is showing? Let us take a look at it today. 👀🚛
