Protecting What Keeps Your Business Moving
Your trucks are on the road every day, hauling freight, meeting deadlines, and keeping your business running. One accident, one damaged load, or one liability claim can put all of that at risk. Transportation insurance is built to protect your vehicles, your cargo, and your bottom line — so a single bad day on the highway doesn’t turn into a lasting setback.
Who Needs Transportation Insurance?
This coverage is built for businesses that move freight for a living, including:
- Owner-operators and independent truckers
- Small to mid-size trucking fleets
- Freight brokers and logistics companies
- Businesses hauling specialized or high-value cargo
If your vehicles are on the road hauling for hire, standard commercial auto insurance likely won’t cut it — you need coverage designed around the specific risks of transportation
Why Work With an Independent Agent
Transportation insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. Rates and coverage depend on your cargo type, radius of operation, driver experience, safety record, and equipment. An independent agent can compare multiple carriers to find the coverage that actually fits your operation — instead of forcing your business into a generic policy.
What Your Policy Can Cover
- Auto Liability — bodily injury and property damage from an accident involving your commercial vehicles
- Physical Damage — repair or replacement of your trucks and trailers
- Motor Truck Cargo — protection for the freight you’re hauling
- Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail) — coverage when your truck is being used off-dispatch
- General Liability — protection for incidents at loading docks, terminals, or your yard
- Trailer Interchange — coverage for trailers you pull under interchange agreements
- Worker’s Compensation — coverage for medical expenses and lost wages if a driver or employee is injured on the job
- Excess Liability — additional coverage above your primary liability limits for large or catastrophic claims
What Affects Your Rate
A few things typically shape your premium:
- Type of cargo hauled
- Radius of operation (local, regional, long-haul)
- Number and experience of drivers
- Safety and claims history
- Age and condition of your fleet
