Georgia offers many great products which have major nationwide demand. Georgia’s famous peaches aren’t the only famous one – according to Netstate, “Georgia’s top five agricultural products are broilers (young chickens), cotton, cattle and calves, chicken eggs, and peanuts.”
Needless to say, all of these products are being shipped out of Georgia constantly, on a busy, constant schedule. This is where rig operators are greatly needed to make sure the chain of commerce stays moving, and lucrative. But, safety should be a top concern for all rig operators. It’s not about you being safe, but having a safety plan, period. Hauling products requires long hours on and off the road, and statistically, it’s probable that you will run into an accident either caused by your or another driver, or nature itself! For example, just recently, in Dekalb County, “all lanes of I-285 South [were] closed after a tree [fell] onto the highway, hitting a semi truck.” Unfortunately, the driver of the semi was injured.
No one can prepare for an accident caused by nature, otherwise called, a force majeure. That’s why having a great, comprehensive insurance plan for your rig is important. Like the unlucky driver who had the tree fall on his truck, both he and his vehicle sustained damage – who will pay for that? He can’t blame anyone else, nor himself – but there are still hefty costs to be shelled out for medical care and auto repairs. That’s where having insurance comes in – in these cases, J.E.B’s plans would’ve covered both you and your rig!
