Trucking & Transportation Insurance

Built for motor carriers, where a single loss can be catastrophic and federal compliance is non-negotiable.

Trucking & Transportation

Insurance built around how you operate

Motor carriers run on thin margins and heavy liability. A single at-fault loss involving a commercial truck can produce a catastrophic claim, and your filings, cargo obligations, and CSA scores all hinge on the right program.

We structure trucking coverage around your radius, commodities, and driver roster — and keep your federal filings clean so your authority stays active.

Coverage essentials

Coverage built for trucking & transportation

The core protections we typically structure for businesses like yours:

Auto Liability (Primary)

Bodily injury and property damage. Federal minimums often run $750K–$1M, and contracts frequently demand more.

Motor Truck Cargo

The freight you haul, protected against damage, theft, and — with the right form — spoilage.

Physical Damage

Collision and comprehensive coverage on your tractors and trailers.

Non-Trucking / Bobtail Liability

Coverage for use of the truck when you're off-dispatch.

General Liability

Premises and non-driving operations exposure at your yard or terminal.

Trailer Interchange

Liability for trailers in your care under interchange agreements.

Have a unique exposure?

No two operations are identical. If there's a risk specific to your business, we can structure coverage for it.

From an insurance perspective

What to look for

The details that decide whether a policy actually protects you when it matters:

The MCS-90 endorsement

It's a federal surety, not real coverage. Don't mistake it for your liability or cargo protection — it pays the public, then you repay the insurer.

Radius & commodity match

Coverage rated for local won't respond the same for long-haul, and hauling out-of-class commodities can jeopardize a claim.

Driver MVRs & CSA scores

Carriers underwrite — and re-rate — on driver records and safety scores. Hiring standards directly affect your premium.

Cargo limits & exclusions

High-value or theft-prone commodities, and refrigerated loads, often need to be specifically scheduled.

Reefer breakdown

Spoilage from a refrigeration-unit failure is commonly excluded unless you add breakdown coverage.

Loss runs & deductibles

Prior losses drive renewal pricing. We help you manage claims history and structure deductibles that fit cash flow.

Questions & answers

Trucking & Transportation insurance FAQ

What is an MCS-90 endorsement?

It is a federally required surety that guarantees payment to the public for certain losses. It is not coverage for your own truck or cargo — if it pays a claim, you must reimburse the insurer.

What coverages do motor carriers usually need?

Primary auto liability, motor truck cargo, and physical damage are core, often with non-trucking/bobtail liability, general liability, and trailer interchange depending on the operation.

How do driver records affect trucking insurance?

Carriers rate and re-rate on driver MVRs and CSA safety scores, so your hiring standards and safety program directly influence your premium.
