When you’re searching for an insurance company for your trash hauling business, the most important factor you need to consider is their reliability. If one of your garbage trucks is in an accident, you want to be certain that your insurance company has your back. That’s why, when an agent recommends a company, it’s crucial to check that prospective company’s rating on A.M. Best or Moody’s. Work with your agent to get the most reliable company possible.
