What truck insurance covers
Commercial truck insurance is its own world. The carriers that write it well are not the same names that show up on your auto policy, and the underwriting questions are different — radius of operation, commodity hauled, value of the trailer, hours of service compliance, the driver's MVR.
We write owner-operators running their own authority, owner-operators leased to a motor carrier, and small fleets up to a few dozen power units. The most common policy is primary liability plus physical damage on the tractor and trailer, plus motor truck cargo for what's on the deck.
Federal motor carrier rules set a floor on liability — $750,000 for general freight on interstate runs, more for hazmat or passengers. That's the floor. Most shippers and brokers want $1,000,000 minimum and won't load you for less.

Coverage types we write
-
Primary liability
Bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. Required by FMCSR for any vehicle running interstate or intrastate freight.
-
Physical damage
Repairs to your tractor and trailer regardless of fault. Required by most lenders.
-
Motor truck cargo
The freight on the deck. Limits and exclusions vary widely by commodity — refrigerated breakdown, contamination, theft from unattended trailer.
-
Non-trucking liability
Coverage when you're using the truck for personal use, not under dispatch. Critical for owner-operators leased to a carrier.
-
Trailer interchange
Damage to a trailer that isn't yours but you're responsible for under an interchange agreement.
-
General liability
Slip-and-fall, premises, and operations exposure outside the truck itself. Often required by shippers and warehouses.

Frequently asked questions
What does a $1M trucking policy actually cost in Pennsylvania?
For a single owner-operator running 48-state, dry van, clean MVR, three years experience, the range is roughly $9,000 to $14,000 a year. Reefer or flatbed runs higher. New ventures with no prior coverage history pay more. We get specific numbers once we know radius, commodity, and the driver's history.
I just got my MC number. Can you write me?
Yes. New-venture trucking is harder to place but we have carriers that take it. Expect the first 12 months to cost more than year two — you're a known risk after a year of clean history.
Do you write hot-shot operators?
Yes, including F-450 and one-ton class trucks pulling gooseneck trailers. Hot-shot rates are more sensitive to commodity and radius than tractor-trailer rates.
What is non-trucking liability and do I need it?
If you're an owner-operator leased to a motor carrier, your carrier's policy covers you while you're under dispatch. Non-trucking liability covers you when you're bobtailing home or running personal errands — gaps where the carrier's policy doesn't apply.
How fast can you issue a certificate of insurance?
Same day, almost always within an hour, once a policy is bound. We can email a COI directly to the broker, shipper, or load board.
