In today’s segment, Todd provides key indicators that small businesses should look for to determine if they need commercial auto insurance. He also explains why commercial auto policy rates on are the rise, and the five things small businesses can do to control those rising costs, including:
- Put in place a risk management program that has specific rules in place for ALL drivers
- Run Motor vehicle reports on all drivers minimum annually and all new drivers.
