📝🛻 June is National Safety Month—a national campaign focused on building safer workplaces and roads across the country. For the trucking industry, it's a meaningful reminder that safety isn't a compliance exercise. It's what keeps drivers home and operations running.

Throughout June, GIA Group will be sharing one post per week aligned with this year's National Safety Month themes—starting with continuous improvement 🔧⚙️.

Safety in trucking isn't a one-time checklist. It's a habit built over thousands of miles, maintained through small, consistent actions that most people never notice—until they matter.

For fleet owners and owner-operators, continuous improvement often comes down to three areas:

1️⃣ Pre-trip inspections
The easiest place for safety to break down is also the most preventable. A thorough pre-trip catches what a quick walk-around misses—brake wear, tire pressure, lighting, fluid levels. What gets checked consistently gets caught early.

2️⃣ Driver file documentation
Licenses, medical certificates, MVR records—these expire on different timelines and may quietly fall out of compliance. A regular audit of driver files prevents the kind of surprises that show up at the worst possible time.

3️⃣ Incident review
Near misses and minor incidents carry more information than major ones. Operations that review them seriously build a clearer picture of where risk actually lives in their fleet.

Safety culture doesn't come from a single policy. It comes from what gets checked, reviewed, and improved every week.

GIA Group helps fleets and owner-operators make sure their coverage program reflects the standards their operation is built on.

No two trucking operations are the same—and neither are their insurance costs. Below are real examples of what GIA Group clients paid in April for commercial truck insurance.

All figures reflect specific operational factors—driving record, cargo, radius, equipment, and coverage history. Results vary by operation and are not indicative of standard market rates.

The GIA Group team reviews options across multiple carriers to identify coverage that fits the operation, not the other way around.

According to data cited by logistics executives and industry researchers, cargo theft costs the U.S. trucking industry as much as $6.6 billion per year—more than $18 million every single day (fortune.com). Cargo fraud is becoming more sophisticated, and no single measure eliminates the risk.

What tends to separate operations that manage it well from those that don't comes down to a few consistent practices.

📴 Carrier contact changes
When a carrier's phone number or email appears to have changed, cross-referencing that change through the FMCSA Company Snapshot at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov—rather than accepting it through the carrier's own communication—is a reliable way to catch potential contact manipulation early.

⌛ Last-minute load changes
Reroutes, driver substitutions, and last-minute changes to pickup instructions are consistently present in load diversion fraud cases. Written authorization confirmed through a trusted channel (separate from the communication making the request) is a meaningful control.

🔎 Ongoing carrier monitoring
A one-time check at onboarding gives a snapshot. Platforms like Highway, Carrier411, and RMIS provide continuous visibility into carrier authority status, insurance certificates, and FMCSA contact changes—a more current picture of who an operation is working with.

🤳 VoIP phone numbers
The National Insurance Crime Bureau identifies VoIP numbers are a common tool in dispatcher impersonation schemes—easy to create and difficult to trace. When a contact number returns as VoIP, verifying through a secondary channel before releasing load information or dispatch instructions is the control the NICB specifically recommends

📝 Carrier selection documentation
A clear record of when a carrier was verified, what source confirmed their insurance, and what the FMCSA record showed at that time supports both internal accountability and claim review if a loss ever comes up.

📂 Contract terms and coverage alignment
Shipper and broker agreements sometimes include language that shifts financial responsibility for cargo loss. Understanding what those terms require—and whether the current insurance program reflects them—is part of managing exposure before a situation arises rather than after.

Cargo fraud is an evolving risk. The right coverage is part of how operations protect themselves, and it works best alongside strong day-to-day practices.

⚡️ In April 2026, a civil case involving a trucking operation resulted in an $81 million award in Utah—reported as the largest of its kind in the state's history and among the most significant in trucking nationally.

The term "nuclear verdict" refers to a civil award large enough to exceed what most standard liability policies were designed to absorb. In trucking, awards of this size have become more common over the past decade—and the amounts involved have grown significantly.

🔎 What makes them different from standard claims

Large civil awards in commercial vehicle cases don't always follow the same scale as typical liability claims. Cases involving serious incidents may result in awards that a primary liability policy was never structured to fully cover. The gap between what a policy pays and what a civil proceeding awards may fall directly on the operation itself.

🛤️ What the Utah case illustrates

The operation involved had an insurance program structured deeply enough to cover the award. The payment was fully covered by insurance. That outcome isn't always the case—some significant awards in recent years have landed on operations with limited ability to respond financially.

The difference between those two outcomes often comes down to one thing: whether excess or umbrella liability coverage was in place above the primary policy.

🛡️ What excess and umbrella liability coverage does

Primary commercial auto liability has limits. Excess and umbrella policies sit above those limits—extending protection when an award, settlement, or judgment exceeds what the underlying policy covers. For any operation moving freight on public roads, that additional layer is what separates a manageable outcome from one that puts the business at risk.

Awards of this scale are not limited to large fleets. Any commercial vehicle involved in a serious incident operates in the same civil liability environment.

🤝 GIA Group, LLC works with carriers and fleets to make sure their insurance coverage program is structured for the risk their operation actually carries, including what sits above the primary policy.

Ready for Roadcheck? 🚦🚛

National Transportation Week this year comes with a reminder worth paying attention to. The CVSA International Roadcheck runs May 12–14 (right in the middle of the week) across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

This year, inspectors are placing extra attention on two areas:

ELD records:
Inspectors will be reviewing records of duty status closely, with a focus on accuracy and any signs of edited or manipulated entries. It's worth making sure logs are clean and complete going into the week.

Cargo securement:
Tie-downs, blocking, bracing, and overall load stability all fall under review. A load showing any sign of instability tends to get a closer look.

A few things worth reviewing before May 12:
✅ ELD device appears on the current FMCSA-registered list
✅ Logs are accurate with no missing duty status entries
✅ Medical certificate is current and accessible
✅ Cargo securement matches federal standards for the load type
✅ Driver file documentation is organized and up to date

Roadcheck is three days. Good compliance habits protect an operation every other day of the year, too—and make sure coverage holds up when it matters most.

GIA Group works with owner-operators and fleets who understand that the right coverage is part of running a solid operation.

❓FAQ: Can I insure a truck that I don't own?

Short answer: yes—and in some situations, it may actually be a requirement.

Here's when it matters:

▶ Leasing a truck
The title isn't in the driver's name—but responsibility on the road remains. The carrier's insurance applies under dispatch. Outside of that, there's a gap. Bobtail or non-trucking liability coverage exists to fill that gap—depending on lease terms.

▶ Renting or borrowing a truck
Most commercial auto policies cover the vehicle, not the driver. Hired and non-owned auto insurance exists specifically to cover that exposure.

▶ Owner-operator leased to a carrier
This is the most common situation. The carrier has their own policy—but it's built to protect the carrier, not the operator. Knowing exactly where carrier coverage ends and individual coverage needs to begin is one of the most important things an owner-operator can establish.

⚠️ Common Mistake:
Assuming carrier insurance provides full personal protection—in most cases, it doesn't.

Every lease and every operation is different. That's exactly the conversation to have with an insurance specialist before something goes wrong.

GIA Group helps owner-operators and fleets identify coverage gaps before they become claims.

❄ Most standard cargo policies don't cover re**er unit breakdowns.

If a cooling system fails mid-haul, spoiled produce, dairy, or pharma freight becomes the carrier's financial responsibility—not the insurer's.

Re**er breakdown coverage is a separate add-on. It covers sudden mechanical or electrical failure of the unit. And many major shippers—grocery chains, food distributors, pharma companies—require proof of it before they'll assign you a load.

💸 Cost runs roughly $800–$2,000/year per truck. Carriers with clean maintenance records and temperature monitoring systems may land on the lower end.

We put together a full breakdown of exclusions, pricing factors, and shipper requirements in the latest blog: https://giasure.com/blog/re**er-breakdown-coverage-why-it-is-a-must-for-refrigerated-freight

🚧 Work zones are one of the most expensive places for a commercial vehicle incident to happen.

Not just because of the human cost—but because of what follows:

▶ Fines for speeding or moving violations in a work zone may be double or triple standard penalties in most states
▶ CSA points from a work zone citation stay on record and may affect a carrier's safety score
▶ Liability exposure may increase significantly when an incident occurs in a marked work zone—regardless of fault
▶ Claims in work zones are among the more complex to resolve, often involving multiple parties, contractors, and state agencies

For owner-operators and fleet managers, one work zone incident may affect an insurance program for years.

💡 A few practices that make a difference:
▶ Slowing down before the cones, not at them
▶ Adding the following distance—stopping distances don't change, but lane widths do
▶ Watching for workers on foot, not just signage
▶ Building work zone delays into dispatch schedules—rushed drivers cut corners

GIA Group works with fleets and owner-operators to make sure commercial auto programs are structured for real-world exposures. Worth a conversation before the next renewal 🤳
