The truck I drive for a dairy transportation company broke down in the middle of nowhere and they told me to "wait" for someone to come help me. It's been 6 hours, the products have a limited shelf-life and I am wasting time by standing here.

There are different insurance services for transportation that take care of these problems, it is common that the employer does not have them but I believe that every day they are more necessary. Echa un ojo a este: https://try.southwestrisk.com/commercial-trucking-insurance/?gclid=CjwKCAjwg5uZBhATEiwAhhRLHsigd2LkDXHjmbBOvLt_v3gDsHRKl_xt5s3OYVIHnLWhaG2fEceVWBoCHCAQAvD_BwE

As a truck driver I know that being stranded, it is not easy to repair a truck when there are major problems, once I was 14 hours in the middle of nowhere, it was very dangerous and from that moment I resigned from the company where I worked.

It is common for accidents to happen, but the ability to solve problems is what makes a freight forwarding company important, I am a transportation logistics manager, I always try to make sure that my trucks are in perfect mechanical condition, and that my drivers are comfortable, at the same time our company has a road insurance with a quick response no more than 2 hours. I believe that with all this we can provide the customer with a complete service.
