Freight train derailment at grade crossing

[cirdan]

A lot of railroad rolling equipment sent prematurely to the recycle bone yard.

I hope the trucking company has a good insurance.

I hope the trucking company has a good insurance.

With trucking you mainly have two kinds of companies: The giants who own hundreds or even thousands of trucks, run their own terminals and fuel depots, and are largely self-insured. Then there are the small operators who lease (not own) a dozen or so trucks and whose home 'terminal' is a rented trailer office in a vacant lot; they carry only the bare minimum insurance required by law.

I don't think this company is one of the giants....
