Just as each of us is required to carry, and show proof of insurance for our personal vehicles, so are the commercial driver and the company. Failure to be able to present a copy of the Insurance Cab Card can result in citations and fines for both the driver, and for FirstFleet.
FirstFleet’s insurance policy effective dates are 4/1 to 4/1 annually. Our current policy runs 4/1/18 to 4/1/19. The Insurance Cab Card should be maintained in the Permit Book for every FirstFleet tractor.
One way to ensure that the card is there is to include a review of the Permit Book in every pre-trip inspection. If you find the document is missing an updated copy can be found on the FirstFleet mobile application. Additionally, your dispatch team can print the document from the company shared drive at any time.
