Holding

As a matter of first impression, the court held that section 7-317(b)(2) of the Illinois Vehicle Code, requiring omnibus coverage, applies to insurance policies issued to commercial truckers. In addition, the court held that Zurich’s reciprocal coverage provision violated section 7-317(b)(2) and, therefore, was void as against Illinois public policy.
