Trucking exposures fall into either standard dock-to-dock freight movement, or non-standard trucking such as heavy-haulers or aggregate.  Whatever the mode, Thorn Valley can assess for-hire, private, over-the-road, regional, intermediate or local transporters of commercial property.  From large fleets in excess of 1,000 vehicles, to small “mom-and-pop” final mile delivery, most fall under the regulations if they operate vehicles 10,001+ lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) unless specifically exempted under intrastate regulation.  It is a lot to keep track of – which is why Thorn Valley offers boots on the ground and/or telephonic consultation to guide your insureds towards full compliance.  With hundreds of years in industry experience, Thorn Valley is your go-to expert in commercial vehicle safety, compliance and loss control.
