","text":"you're right, if it's in her contract with who she is leased to that she has to have bobtail then she better have it, if it's not in her contract then their insurance will cover it  , weather she is bobtail or pulling their trailer","replyToPid":292311}

","text":"No, most leased on to companies do not carry it.  They expect you to have it.  I'm referring to someone that owns their own tractor."}

","text":"Not sure if it’s needed as I always had it on my trucks. \n\nCan’t imagine how you tell the officer sorry I don’t have insurance on my truck. Even though I’m bobtail and someone else hit me. ","replyToPid":292384}

723808 发表于 2019-12-29 00:48:47 She is leased on but its my understanding that just protect trailer n cargo but besides that most everyone has to unhook like DC Walmart and if she gets hit before hand what's protecting her truck?

","text":"That’s correct. And good luck explaining you don’t have insurance because you don’t need it when bobtail. ","replyToPid":292289}
