Coverage Lines

What a Strong Trucking Program Includes

Commercial trucking insurance is usually built from multiple coverage lines. Here are the key pieces of a complete program.

FMCSA Required

Primary Auto Liability

Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others while operating a commercial vehicle. This is the core coverage required for many for-hire operations and is essential for activating operating authority.

Common Broker Requirement

Motor Truck Cargo

Covers the freight you are hauling in the event of theft, accident, fire, or another covered loss. Many brokers and shippers require cargo limits before they will release loads.

Physical Damage

Comprehensive and collision coverage for the truck and trailer. Important for financed equipment and valuable even when there is no lienholder involved.

Bobtail / Non-Trucking Liability

Coverage for certain situations when the truck is being operated without a trailer or outside dispatch, depending on how the policy is structured and how the truck is used.

General Liability

Helps address non-auto liability exposures such as loading dock incidents, office exposures, and other premises or operations-related claims that are not handled by auto liability.

Occupational Accident

Often considered by owner-operators and 1099 drivers who are not on a traditional workers compensation policy and want injury-related protection while working.

New Authority

Starting a New Venture?
