the road ahead
Starting a new venture in the trucking industry is a complex process. That is why we now offer Canal TestDrive, an exciting option designed to help new commercial trucking operations simplify and manage their actual insurance cost based on miles driven.
About the Program
Canal TestDrive features a telematics device powered by Samsara, a leader in trucking technology solutions. Simply install the device in your truck, and miles driven will be reported electronically on a monthly basis to calculate your insurance cost. And the best part?
