What Is a First-Party Breach of Contract?
Fleets big and small rely on their insurance companies and agents to do one essential thing: handle paperwork correctly. When an agent fails to forward a trucker’s payment and documents, or when an insurance company misses filing with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the results are immediate and devastating.
If proof of insurance isn’t on file, the FMCSA revokes the trucker’s authority to operate. Trucks sit idle. Drivers quit. Loads get canceled. Revenue stops overnight—all because of a mistake the trucking company didn’t cause. Worse, once authority is reinstated, the company often looks like a brand-new carrier to brokers, shippers, and motor carriers.
Repairing Reputation After a Revocation
This “reset” can damage a company’s reputation and profitability for months or years. Instead of getting the steady, high-quality freight they had before, the business may get fewer loads at lower rates from less desirable sources. Years of hard work and credibility in the industry can be wiped away by an insurance agent’s or insurance company’s breach.
