Not to mention hazardous weather like snowstorms or heavy rain, or when they drive on muddy off-roads. Another reason is the maintenance and repair of them; they are expensive to fix.

Should you be a position where you have employees - or are considering hiring employees - you will want to consider the experience and past performance of your drivers, as this will help determine the cost of your Towing and Recovery Insurance.
