As a parent, one of the scariest times is when your teen starts driving. Even if you trust your teen, know they are a safe driver, and that they will follow the rules, you can’t account for other drivers on the road. Plus, even if you think they are good drivers already, they still lack crucial experience behind the wheel.

Private fleets, according to the National Private Truck Council (NPTC), are fleets operated by parent companies whose primary business is not trucking. For example, a manufacturing company may operate a private fleet to distribute and transport its goods. Private fleets can be thought of as in-house truck operations for another business that does not exclusively provide trucking services.
