How much does trucking insurance cost?
Trucking insurance rates vary based on location, equipment, type of operating, driving record, owner's insurance rating score, and more. Truck insurance for semi trucks or tractors can range from $10,000 to $18,000 on average. In some states, rates may be higher or lower. Certain operations such as auto hauling, logging, dumping, or intermodal may have higher than average cost due to their increased risks. It is important to have a conversation with your trucking insurance agent about your operation and best business practices to reduce your premium.
What coverage do I need?
Depending on your truck operation, you may be required to carry additional insurance. However, most trucking insurance policies include a standard set of coverage. We recommend talking to your trucking insurance agent about your company to assess what coverage you may need to protect you, your employees, and your business. Here is a list of coverage most semi truck companies need to operate:
Liability Insurance
Commercial Auto Liability is a critical component of your trucking insurance policy. This coverage protects your business by covering costs ascociated with damage to other vehicles and property, medical costs arising from the accident, and legal defense if your company is sued.
Every trucking insurance policy includes Auto Liability insurance because it's mandatory for semi-trucks to operate. Trucking companies must carry at least $750,000 in Auto Liability coverage to operate interstate in the United States. Most truck insurance policies insure up to $1,000,000 in Auto Liability to meet broker requirements.
Cargo Insurance
Cargo insurance provides coverage for qualifying damages made to freight by collision and perils you face in transit. With cargo insurance, you can reimburse a client for damage - all without tapping into your bank account except to pay the deductible.
Bobtail Insurance/Non Trucking Liability
When your truck is without cargo, it still needs protection. Bobtail insurance and Non Trucking Liability covers your truck when it's not under load or when you're using it for non-business purposes. Your agent will ask whether you're under permanent lease to a motor carrier or operating under your own authority.
Physical Damage Insurance
If your truck is in an accident or collision, you need the right commercial insurance policy protecting your financial interests. Collision insurance and comprehensive insurance can cover various accidents and damages caused by theft, vandalism and fire, and other perils.
Collision provides coverage in the event of a loss or damage caused by a collision or overturn
Comprehensive provides coverage in the even to of loss or damage caused by incidents other than collision. This includes damages due to fire, theft, vandalism, windstorm, or contact with an animal.
Truckers General Liability Insurance
A general liability policy provides coverage for claims of bodily injury or other physical injury, personal injury (libel or slander), advertising injury and property damage as a result of your products, premises or operations, and can be offered as a package policy with commercial auto insurance.
In addition, we offer coverage tailored specifically for Intermodal Carriers (UIIA), Auto Haulers/Car Carriers, Owner-Operators, and large fleets that may require excess coverage.
