Hi all- I just got my CDL A licence, I have an offer from a big carrier to train me and drive for them but I am looking for local routes only. I found small Amazon contracting company that can hire me but they cannot insure me because I have no experience. I d rather go with them to stay local, am I going to be personally liable for anything if I get into an accident? Any risks I should be aware of? Is this common to not put new driver in insurance, what would happen if I get into an accident? I am in Texas. Thank you!
Company can’t insure me…do I still go for it? Any liabilities?

What they are saying is you have to buy your own insurance.
Either take option 1 or keep looking. Maybe consider paying for school yourself.Suspect Zero Thanks this. -
Where is your location; city/town in Texas?
Do you have endorsements?
Can you drive a stick shift?Suspect Zero Thanks this. -
Amazon or the contractor won't hire you because their insurance won't cover you.

The carrier must post his insurance coverage [old Form E] with the DOT to remain in service.
That insurance does/will say who is approved.
No company will/should use any driver not approved and no one should be able to self insure against the DOT number.
Time to change lures and troll elsewhere.MartinFromBC Thanks this. -
wis bang and MartinFromBC Thank this.
