    That is a new one on me. Do you mean listed as company owned vs you as the individual?

    All my stuff is listed under my name. Maybe that's why I have never ran into this.

    Are you sure about that? How does your policy read?

    Think I just found a use for driver facing cameras.

    I agree with @Hulld. The bridge will be covered. My broker told me one time they have to pay the liability in a situation like that. Can't remember what he said about the collision portion tho. What happens after ain't going to be pretty.
     
    Hulld Thanks this.

    I am sure! Why does a trailer need liability? It's the towing vehicle that has the liability.
