Scott Creighton talks to CI Top Broker magazine about untrained truckers hitting the road

Manjinder Singh knows to stay clear of trucks when driving on Toronto’s highways— because he sells them insurance.

Singh, managing partner of Young’s Insurance Brokers in Brampton, Ont., feels the number of truck accidents is too high in Canada. “It’s getting worse and worse each year,” says Singh. “Trucks are very heavy—they can carry 50,000 pounds. If they hit someone, the impact is huge. The injuries are mostly catastrophic.”
