Commercial truck insurance solutions for owner operators, motor carriers, trucking companies, fleet owners, logistics businesses, contractors, and new venture transportation operations.
What is commercial truck insurance?
Commercial truck insurance is designed for vehicles used in trucking, freight, hauling, delivery, logistics, contracting, and other transportation-related business activities.
A truck insurance program may combine several separate coverages. The appropriate structure can depend on the business entity, operating authority, vehicle ownership, lease arrangements, cargo, driver history, territory, contracts, and current insurance record.
Common commercial truck insurance coverages
Coverage availability, limits, deductibles, exclusions, and eligibility vary by carrier, state, policy, and business operation.
Commercial Auto Liability
May help protect the insured business against covered third-party bodily injury or property damage claims arising from a covered vehicle.
Physical Damage Coverage
May cover eligible collision, theft, fire, vandalism, weather, or other covered damage to scheduled commercial vehicles.
Motor Truck Cargo Insurance
May help protect eligible cargo against covered loss or damage while being transported, loaded, unloaded, or temporarily held.
General Liability Insurance
May help protect against certain covered claims involving business premises, operations, property damage, or bodily injury.
Non-Trucking Liability
May provide liability protection for certain non-business uses when an owner operator is operating outside dispatch, subject to policy terms.
Workers’ Compensation
May provide eligible medical, wage, disability, and related benefits for covered work-related employee injuries or illnesses.

New venture insurance options may be available. Eligibility and pricing can depend on driver experience, vehicle type, authority, territory, cargo, safety controls, and underwriting criteria.
