    i think they're self insured as far as collisions go. i believe it's federally mandated that any carrier hauling freight has to carry coverage on the freight. also, i was in reserve a couple years ago and one of the trainers was telling a story about how when hurricanes come through they have to move all the trailers to safety, but i guess once some bean counter suggested that they could just leave them there because insurance would cover the losses, but somebody overruled him saying basically, 'dude we need those trailers.'

    I would guess it would have been a lot worse if it would of happened at 2am instead of 2pm.

    If I was there on my break, at 2pm, and knew the weather was that bad, I would be keeping my eye on it. 2am? not so much.
     
    Everett Thanks this.
