Transportation for a Wide Variety of Commercial Trucks
Transportation insurance, also known as commercial truck insurance or trucking insurance, helps protect you or the drivers for your company when they’re out on the road. Without truck insurance, you could face huge expenses after an accident.
You are required by law to carry at least minimum liability insurance. Without it, you or your drivers can be cited or have vehicles impounded for failure to follow the law. For this reason, you are asked for proof of insurance whenever you register a truck with the DMV and other regulatory entities, as dictated by your business.
Many kinds of trucks are covered by transportation insurance, including:
- Semi trucks
- Box trucks
- Heavy trucks
- Straight trucks
- Dump trucks
- Tow trucks
- Pickup trucks
- Flatbed trucks
- Garbage trucks
- Ice cream trucks
What Does Transportation Insurance Cover?
Transportation insurance always covers liability at the very least. This means if you or one of your drivers is at fault in an accident, your insurance pays for the cost of property damage, medical treatment for injuries, or even loss of life. You can add motor truck general liability insurance for legal defense fees, court costs, and related expenses.
You can also add coverage to the specific kind of trucking you do:
Physical Damage Coverage
Like collision and comprehensive coverage for your personal vehicle, covers crashes, theft, and vandalism
Bobtail
Insurance
For drivers under a permanent lease agreement, covers driving without a trailer attached
Trailer Interchange Insurance
Covers physical damage if you don’t own the trailer
Motor Truck Cargo Insurance
Helps protect cargo from damage, theft, and loss (you may also need HAZMAT insurance if you haul hazardous materials)
Non-trucking Liability Insurance
For driving your truck outside of business operations
Fleet
Insurance
A more economical alternative to insuring multiple individual vehicles
Permanent Equipment
Covers equipment that is permanently attached to your truck
Refrigeration Breakdown
Legal protection for refrigeration units when breakdown results in loss
Rental Reimbursement
Covers the use of another truck while yours is being repaired following an accident
Many of our clients also add various components of a business owner’s policy, as well as umbrella insurance for increased liability protection and workers compensation to protect employee drivers who may get hurt on the job.
