Your semi-truck is your most valuable asset. Our physical damage insurance covers:
Collision: Repairs after a crash with another vehicle or object
Comprehensive: Protection from theft, vandalism, fire, weather, and other non-collision events
We highly recommend this coverage if your truck is financed or leased.
Motor truck cargo insurance is essential for covering loss or damage to the freight you're hauling. Whether you’re transporting goods for shippers or working with a freight broker, we provide:
Protection against theft, fire, collision, and spoilage
Coverage for high-value and specialized cargo
Custom limits and deductibles based on the type of freight you carry
Even when you're not under dispatch, you still need protection.
NTL Insurance: Covers personal use of your truck when you're not hauling or under a load
Bobtail Insurance: Covers your tractor when operating without a trailer, whether or not you're under dispatch
These are critical coverages for leased owner-operators working under a carrier.
