Trucking Insurance FAQ

We understand that trucking insurance can be complex, so we’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you navigate your coverage options. Whether you’re an owner-operator or managing a fleet, these FAQs will guide you through the essentials with ease.

Trucking insurance is designed to safeguard trucking companies and independent drivers from various risks associated with operating large commercial trucks. It offers financial protection against accidents, property damage, cargo loss, and liability claims.

Most trucking insurance policies offer coverage for third-party liability (in case you’re at fault for injuries or damages), protection for your vehicle, cargo insurance to safeguard goods, and non-business-use liability for personal trips.

Yes, trucking insurance is mandatory under state and federal laws. Minimum coverage levels are set by authorities like the FMCSA to ensure trucks on the road are protected against liability and potential damages.

Insurance premiums depend on a variety of elements, such as the size of your truck, the type of cargo you haul, how far you travel, the driver’s safety record, and the trucking company’s history of claims. Where you operate and your routes also play a role.

Bobtail insurance applies when a truck is operating without a trailer, often after finishing a delivery. Non-trucking liability, however, provides protection for incidents that happen when the vehicle is used for personal or non-business-related activities.

Operating without adequate trucking insurance can result in significant penalties, including hefty fines, potential lawsuits, and the risk of losing your operating license. Additionally, you would be financially responsible for covering damages from accidents, which could strain or even ruin your business.

Yes, many insurers offer discounts if you maintain a strong safety record, have drivers with clean driving histories, or equip your trucks with modern safety technologies. Combining different types of insurance with the same provider can also result in savings.

Yes, certain things may not be covered, such as intentional damage, certain types of high-risk or valuable cargo, and personal use unless non-trucking liability is included. It’s vital to understand the exclusions in your policy.

If you need to file a claim, contact your insurance provider as soon as possible. You’ll likely need to provide accident reports, photos, and relevant documentation. Each company may have a different process, so be sure to follow their specific steps.
