Keep your business on the move and well protected with these tips.
As a business owner, you want to do everything you can to protect your company. From creating a disaster plan to securing reliable commercial insurance, there are many ways you can safeguard your business from financial strain. If your business is on the go and has even one vehicle, then commercial auto insurance is necessary. To help keep your costs down and mitigate risks, here are a few tips.
Put a policy in place. Write up a policy about what your drivers should and should not do when operating the vehicle. From wearing seat belts at all times to locking the doors, ensure you write it down and distribute it to your employees. While most of it will be common sense and things they already do, it’s better to have it writing so they know what is expected of them.

Even if they say they’re a superb driver, their record could show differently. If they have a clean record, you will know that they are responsible drivers.
