> I guess they don’t care, they have insurance but still. Of course they care; even big companies have to fight with their insurance companies and often don't get fully compensated. As a general statement, the overwhelming majority of renters pay their money and return the truck without any issue. The rare accident is costly, but it's paid for mostly through rental fees rather than insurance. I was once offered a job and asked, "Can you drive a truck?" Sure, no problem. I show up for the _cross-country_ drive and it's a 28' box truck with a manual transmission. Thankfully, I had driven a manual car before and there was a primary (I was the 2nd) driver to help me through the particulars of the box truck. Thousands of miles back and forth across the country over 3 months, never a driving incident. > Whenever I see someone else diving one of these I give them a very wide berth and assume they have no idea what they are doing since they normally don’t. I think you over-estimate the skill of the drivers of sedans and SUVs and everything else. Most drivers are pretty awful, even in cars they drive every day.
