Exactly...up here you need to set that straight with your personal auto insurance company meaning that your rates will increase substantially...something you and your employer should negotiate prior to either being hired or making your personal vehicle a job necessity. You either agree to pay the elevated rates out of pocket and take the job or the employer reimburses you the difference.

The factors Im looking at however is that:

the sales contract we signed with the company doesnt call for 'cross selling' nor does it talk about driving from community to community in an aggressive manner to 'close' deals.

The co. doesnt insure our cars for this and Im fairly certain none of our insurance companies know that were doing all of this driving for our employer's whim when they decided to go to this new system which isnt on our 'contract'.

There is no base (generally) just commission
