Are Freedom Convoy truckers covered? The insurance execs quoted are being overly conservative. If the MTO suspended the driver’s license/plate/CVOR, charged them & seized the vehicles, the truck owners liability coverage would be voided. canadianunderwriter.ca/insurance/are-…
polite business speak. Any/all info given to an insurer that can be verified (or ?) is put in the file. If you see an insured cartage company truck on the news…you take a copy & bring it to an adjuster. They make calls & follow up. Why? Because they’re taking the Risk
And the first exec saying “we don’t cancel liability if someone parks the truck on a street” hahahaha. Yeah, they do if you’re using your truck in an illegal occupation, parked illegally, living out of it & not using it for non-commercial business…
Care Custody Control
In the end, the MTO (or any other provincial transport) has great powers. They can remove plates, suspend the drivers license, pull CVOR, seize the vehicle. If EVER there was the most extreme reaction to take, this occupation is it.
yes, liability insurer will probably still be on hook of third party claims, though it’d go thru Court if the owner/driver been using it for non-commercial/illegal use. The important part is an insurer is not going to want to stay on risk if you have a truck in this occupation
The one thing the article admits:
The adjusters read/analyze all the info that comes in about the Ottawa commercial vehicles. So if you’ve been sending photos/lists to the major commercial carriers? They’re being read & investigated.
Note: The truck itself stays on facility. Where it can run the cost of a rental condo at the Four Seasons

if you’ve been part of this fiasco? You’re never getting your CVOR back, & may as well go into some other business that’s on a bus route
Because right now, all the liability insurance carriers who cover those trucks in the occupation? Their mgmt/directors/lawyers/adjusters/investigators have had many many meetings, where “Oh Fuck!” Is whispered often. The city, residents, businesses would have all valid claims
So legally, yes they’d have to mail out notices to these truck owners/drivers in order to be valid in court. And I guarantee there’s a mad scramble to cover their exposure
So right now the business addresses of each of those commercial vehicle occupiers, has a red hot notification,
Signed, Sealed by registered mail
Ooooh, who knew Commercial Vehicle Insurance could be….

SOOOOO HAWT!

Along with vehicle liability for the Ottawa occupiers, we really haven’t discussed that many of these vehicles are leased. The use of these leased commercial vehicles in this occupation, goes against leasing contracts.
Like any leased vehicle, Care Custody Control is part of a leasing agreement. Leaseholder has to maintain full liability insurance, use vehicle in parameter of agreed use in contract, maintenance, and above all avoid any seizure of MTO by abiding Highway Traffic Rules
Every one of these leaseholder contract points have been violated by the occupation commercial truck owner/drivers. These leased vehicle has exposed the vehicles to illegal use, negligent care. Banks/financial/leasing companies, should also be investigating if they are exposed

I have wondered in the last few years how any business holding risk, Insurance, Bonding, Lenders, financial services, are going to deal with a percentage of the population they can’t rely upon. Everyone assumes people avoid financial/liability/Health risk. To some degree
Often there’s some honour system in business. An insurer trusts that you don’t want to risk lawsuits/killing others by driving your car up on a sidewalk. That there was some common sense, or at least the fear of the law. Now?
In the past few years, I have seen average people, w/good jobs/ businesses fall down the hole of conspiracy theories & Trumpism then ready to risk everything to express their anger. How do Statisticians incorporate this demographic?

If you still have a commercial vehicle in this occupation? Say goodbye to your CVOR certificate, plates, drivers license, your liability coverage, …god forbid your vehicle is leased. The financial backlash & lawsuits won’t be televised. #bankruptcy cbc.ca/news/politics/…
You may as well put your truck keys on the dash, put a call into your lawyer, tell your wife to not answer the phone (creditors) and come pick you up. Because buddy, any driving you do from here out will only be done on your XBox (if you’re not indicted)
The emergency act means your truck will be seized. It’s a world of hurt coming, will last far longer than the hell you put those Ottawa residents through.

My daughter and son rent a place over on Bloor E near Church. They can hear the honking from there.
The condos near the museum are some of the most expensive in Canada. Many many CEO’s, powerbrokers.
Not to mention half of Vaughan was heading down to Yorkville this weekend for dinner. Sotto Sotto, Stk etc.

Heads are going to roll, if any of these guys are sub trades, or do any work in Vaughan.
Toronto. Is. Not. Ottawa.

I’m sorry Ottawa, we will get you thru this

But in Toronto, these assholes don’t know who they’re pissing off

Still. The assholery to want to sit there asses near the hospitals and blow there horns. MTO can and should just seize them. Driving these things on the road is a charge. Hold them wait.
The 2022 MTO vehicle auction is going to be 🔥 LIT 🔥

I need as many people as possible to tag @JimWatsonOttawa @ottawapolice & any media person in Ontario covering this. They put a tarp over the propane. This is an enormous security issue. We have to do this ourselves #FluTrucksClan
I cannot believe this. Is there any law enforcement? Who do we need to call?
