Common Trucking Insurance Questions
Commercial trucking companies assume a high degree of liability for vehicle safety and the property left in their care. They do their best to ensure that they deliver their products to the correct places and without accidents along the way.
However, nothing is certain, and in the event of accidents, you’ll often face considerable recovery costs. Proper trucking insurance is a resource that will help you afford these expenses without sacrificing your critical company assets and facing insolvency. Your policy can provide extensive benefits for multiple loss scenarios and make your overall operations more secure.
To design a proper trucking insurance policy, you will likely need several benefits. These include:
- Physical Damage Insurance: This will pay for damage to your truck and trailer. If you do not own the trailer, then you will need non-owned trailer physical damage coverage.
- Motor Truck Cargo Insurance: You generally have to carry this coverage when you haul cargo for clients. It will insure the items in case of losses.
- Primary Trucking Liability Insurance: This coverage pays for third-party injuries or property damage arising from the trucker’s at-fault accidents while on dispatch.
- Non-Trucking Liability Insurance: You can extend your liability coverage to times when you drive your coverage for personal or other non-business purposes.
- Trucking General Liability Insurance: This coverage applies to third-party bodily injuries or property damage that occur when you park your truck and are in the process of loading, unloading or performing other business with it.
- Workers Compensation Insurance: Truckers injured in accidents usually qualify for workers compensation, which will pay them a supplementary income as they recover from their injury.
- Bobtail Liability Coverage: When driving a truck with an empty trailer or with not trailer attached, this coverage insures you for the costs of accidents.
- Environmental Liability Coverage: Truckers who carry hazardous materials will need this coverage to pay for the costs of cleaning up damage caused by spills resulting from wrecks.
By law, most truckers and trucking companies must carry certain amounts of coverage.
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires at least $750,000 in primary liability coverage.
- Most freight shippers and brokers also require drivers to have liability insurance, too. Their requirements might vary from the FMCSA requirement.
- Most companies must have workers compensation for all full and part-time employees.
- If you have financed your truck, then you will likely have to carry physical damage insurance.
Other coverage requirements might also apply, so don't hesitate to discuss your operations with our agents to learn more about any coverage requirements.
