Schneider IC tagged by Schneider company truck

Happened to a buddy of mine in Fontana. INS took care of him promptly and SNI paid him his weekly average cause it was company to IC. Sorry I don't have more details.

 

I am sure they will bend over to get you repaired and settled quickly to put the matter to rest, as you (as an IC) are no different than if their truck hit a 4-wheeler.

 

Well, I believe SNI is self-insured so they most likely have an internal claims rep up in Green Bay, WI that will review and process the claim once it hits his/her desk. If I did not hear anything by Monday mid-morning - mid-day I would be calling to see who is handling the claim and contact them directly to verify the claim has been started. Another option is to get your insurance company involved, and they can start the claim and collect from SNI, but will figure your deductible and only reimburse you that deductible once collected from SNI so I would start with SNI and give them an opportunity. I was in the car finance business for over 15-years and handled too many insurance claims with clients and on repossessed property. Sometimes a little patience pays off. Hope you were not injured?

 

Never dealt with this but remember to cover your ***, pictures pictures pictures!

 

Werner did it to me back in 91 took 3 years to collect,,Stay on them ,,when Roehl did it to me I had to sue, big carrier know the small guys usually can not hire a lawyer,, Law says they have to have insurance but doesn't say they got to pay..

 

The more of these types of stories I read the more apprehensive I become about parking in truck stops.

 

always nose in as far away for any other trucks,, I avoid truckstops when possible...never park at then end of a row.
