A household with a commercial driver in it has a question most families never face: what a work vehicle, a work license and a personal policy have to do with each other.
Holding a commercial license does not change your personal policy. What you drive and why does.
Three things about driving for a living and driving at home.
Holding a commercial license does not by itself change your personal auto policy. What matters is what you are driving and for what purpose at the moment of a loss. A personal vehicle used personally is covered normally, whatever is in your wallet.
Driving a company truck is generally covered by the company policy, and that cover is arranged for their benefit. It may protect you as a driver and it is not yours, and it ends when the shift does. Relying on it for anything personal is a mistake.
Where an employee regularly drives vehicles they do not own, there can be exposure above the employer’s limits that falls back on the individual. For a household without a personal vehicle of its own, that gap is worth understanding rather than assuming away.
The line between the job and the household.
Yours, the employer’s or someone else’s. Three answers.
That is the exclusion that bites.
If not, a non-owner policy may be the right instrument.
