- ProDriver Defender offers coverage for professional vehicle drivers of class 1-3 vehicles—no commercial driver’s license required. If you drive a van or your personal vehicle for work, this plan is for you. The plan covers yourself and your spouse in both personal and professional vehicles for all non-criminal moving, non-moving, and DOT violations,
