Hi All,
Just an update on this it took our broker a good week of going back and forth with the insurers. It seems there are only 2 principle Insurers currently, who will entertain under 21 year olds. We’ve taken one of the older units off the fleet policy and managed to get him covered, but, and it’s a big but, if he has a bump that’s deemed to be a fault accident they will only pay the 3rd party losses (the trailer and GIT insurance is valid), so it’s a risk for us to lose a unit should something major happen but…i’ve been out with him eveyday this week and I can’t fault his driving. Reversing is a doddle for him which is half the battle and his road-craft is very good.
Just need to work on his navigation and journey planning next week and I think we’ll have a very good lad to work with.
