What is needed to take my 4 yr old son on my truck

There are not three safety belts in a truck. Probably not a good idea.

 

My agent said that he can not cover anyone in my truck. I have my own authority and I am not leased on to anyone. He mentioned a story about a driver who had his kid and the kid died in a crash. The wife sued him.

I think the only way is just do it at your own risk if O/O and with permission if leased on and it is a option with them. Probably only the self insured megas???

Good question though.

 

Patience

 

Open the door and get in. That’s what I did years ago.

 

Did you ask the carrier your leased to?

 

Start them early! I started around 3 or 4.

 

You need to inform the carrier you are leased to. They should have rules in place on what is allowed and what is not. Also age of riders that are allowed to be on truck. According to FMCSA if they allow riders they are to give you a letter stating the name of the rider I believe their age and how long they can be on the truck. If you are your own carrier then you have to print that letter give it to yourself and carry it on the truck. You shouldn't need any insurance, carrier takes care of that, they can charge you for it but they will get it. Hope this helps.

 

You need insurance on a rider.

 

Not to get all crazy and stand on my soap box. But this is the reason why people can't do this kind of work now, or any kind of trades. Insurance companies kill experiences now lol.
