Rider Policy

Absolutely No Picking Up Hitchhikers!
Many drivers enjoy having passengers ride with them. The Company
has no objection to a passenger riding with you provided the Company is
protected from liability in case of accident or injury. In order to protect
the Company’s interests, all passengers must be covered by accident
insurance. Drivers and passengers will also be required to enter into
waiver and indemnity agreements. The following rules apply to all
passengers:
1. You may only carry a passenger who has been issued a Rider
Permit. Rider Permits are reviewed and issued by the Safety
Department. No passenger may be transported until AFTER the
Rider Permit has been issued.
2. You will be required to apply for and obtain Rider Insurance for
your passenger.
3. The passenger must be at least 10 years of age. A driver
who wishes to have a “minor” child as a passenger, MUST
be a custodial parent or “legal guardian” as recognized and
documented by a court order. A minor passenger must remain
in the company of the driver at all times while at a Service
Center or customer facility. Violation of this policy may result in
revocation of the Rider Permit.
4. All passengers will be required to provide adequate proof of
their identity. Persons who could adversely affect the dispatch
or operation of the truck may not be transported as passengers.
This includes persons with criminal records or special medical
conditions.
5. Any passenger who is 18 years of age or older will be required to
read and sign a waiver of liability.
6. There can only be one passenger allowed on a truck at a time.
7. Teams must have the consent of both drivers to have a passenger
on the truck.
