Editorial standards
How we write, source, date and correct every guide on this site.
Who writes and who reviews
The TruckersProtect editorial team writes every guide, and a licensed agent reviews it before it goes live. We write as an agency. You will not see a salesperson's name or photo presented as an expert.
Where facts come from
- Every specific fact, from a price or a benefit limit to a regulation or a death count, comes from a page we opened. It is listed under Sources at the end of the page with the publisher, the title, the page date and the date we opened it.
- We use material written for the public, such as association pages, trade press, broker articles, law firm explainers and the regulation text on Cornell's Legal Information Institute. We never use documents an insurer marks for agents or brokers only.
- When we cannot confirm something, it stays off the page.
Prices and plan details
Every price is a dated sample. It carries the date checked, the source and what it assumes, such as age, sex, tobacco use, health class, amount and term. When we describe a specific plan, we name the insurer or association that offers it and quote its own terms. Plans change, so the date matters.
Health pages
Pages about the DOT medical card, sleep apnea, blood pressure, diabetes and weight are general information, not medical advice. They explain how the medical examiner and a life insurer read the same records. We never tell a driver how to treat a condition or how to answer an exam. Those questions belong to the examiner and your own doctor.
Charts, logs and calculators
Each calculator prints its math and its limits beside the result, and its answer is an estimate, not a quote. Each Coverage Log shows one sample day, and every line on it traces to that plan's published terms. Where the terms do not say, the log says so.
What we leave out
- Star ratings, testimonials, award badges and countdown timers.
- Any wording that makes a page look like it came from a carrier, OOIDA, a union or a government agency.
- Any claim that an insurer or association works with us or pays to be mentioned.
- Promises about returns. Life insurance is protection first.
Fixing mistakes
Call (305) 699-5857 and tell us the page and the problem. We check it against the source, fix it, and change the updated date on the page.
Talk to a licensed agent
Found a question no guide answers?
Four quick taps. A licensed agent calls you back with prices from several insurance companies, at a time that suits your route, and you decide if and when to apply.
TruckersProtect is an independent insurance agency. We are not a motor carrier, OOIDA, a union or a government agency.
