Insurance guy rides in a truck (part 3 of 3)

I log a lot of windshield time. I’ve shared the road with more semis than I can count. But I had never been in a semi.

I look at my client’s trucking operation as elite.

I have met with countless truck leaders, have interviewed their drivers, have digested the reg books alongside them and have even kicked off driver meetings. I’m very much in transportation.

But I had never been in a semi.
