MONTANA GUIDE 14
Employer, Commercial & Work-Use Auto Coverage in Montana
A vehicle that appears personal may still be used for an employer, contractor, delivery service, or business purpose. Those facts can lead to additional liability policies, commercial auto coverage, umbrella limits, or vicarious-liability issues.
- Identify the driver’s employer and job duties.
- Determine who owned, leased, maintained, or supplied the vehicle.
- Preserve dispatch, timekeeping, route, delivery, and expense records.
- Request commercial auto, businessowners, umbrella, and excess policies.
- Investigate permissive-use and additional-insured provisions.
Work use should be investigated from the facts of the trip, not simply from how the vehicle was registered or described by the driver.
