Coverage for the Way You Haul
Most trucking policies are built from the same parts: primary auto liability, physical damage, motor truck cargo and, for leased-on drivers, non-trucking liability. We help you pick the parts your operation actually needs, plus trailer interchange if you swap trailers under an agreement. We also write coverage shaped around the truck and the work, from hotshot rigs and box trucks to dump trucks on construction jobs. If you are just starting out, our new authority truck insurance page walks through what the FMCSA and your first brokers will expect.
Commercial Trucking Insurance
The core coverage most motor carriers need, including liability, cargo and physical damage, put together around how your trucks actually run.
Primary Auto Liability
Liability coverage for injury and damage your truck causes to others, with your FMCSA filing and broker certificates taken care of.
Physical Damage Insurance
Collision and comprehensive coverage that pays to repair or replace your truck and trailer, set at a value that matches what your equipment is actually worth.
Motor Truck Cargo Insurance
Coverage for the freight on your truck, with limits that satisfy your broker contracts and exclusions explained before you sign.
Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail)
Liability coverage for leased owner-operators when the truck is off dispatch, written to match what your motor carrier's lease requires.
Trailer Interchange Insurance
Physical damage coverage for trailers and chassis you pull under a signed interchange agreement, with limits matched to what the agreement requires.
Owner-Operator Insurance
Coverage for drivers who own their truck, from leased-on owner-operators to those running under their own MC authority.
New Authority Truck Insurance
First-year coverage and federal filings for carriers who just got a DOT number and MC authority and need insurance before the first load.
Fleet Truck Insurance
Coverage for small and mid-size fleets, with every truck, trailer, driver and filing kept on one policy that is easy to update as you grow.
Dump Truck Insurance
Liability, physical damage and job site certificates for dump trucks and construction haulers, set up around how far and what you actually haul.
Hotshot Truck Insurance
Liability, cargo and physical damage coverage built around a heavy-duty pickup, its trailer and the loads you actually haul.
Box Truck Insurance
Coverage for straight trucks doing delivery, moving or contract freight, built around your loads, your routes and what your customers require.
What Moves Your Premium
Trucking premiums vary a lot from one operation to the next, and the reasons are usually specific. Knowing them helps you understand a quote and sometimes lower it. Here is what underwriters look at most closely.
Every quote depends on your drivers, equipment and operation, so we gather those details on the call before giving you numbers. We then walk you through what each part of the quote covers.
- Driving records
- Every listed driver's motor vehicle record matters. Recent violations, accidents and years of commercial driving experience weigh heavily on liability pricing.
- Time under your authority
- A brand-new MC authority has no track record yet, so rates usually start higher. Clean loss runs over the first few years tend to open up more options.
- What you haul and where
- Cargo type, operating radius and the states you run through all change the risk. Refrigerated loads, high-value freight and long interstate lanes usually cost more to cover than local hauling of general goods.
- Truck and trailer values
- Physical damage premium follows the stated value of your equipment. Newer, higher-value tractors cost more to insure for damage than an older paid-off unit.
- Limits and deductibles
- Higher liability limits and lower deductibles raise the premium. We help you match limits to what your contracts and brokers require without paying for more than you need.
- Claims history
- Loss runs from your past insurers show frequency and severity of claims. A single large claim can affect pricing for several years.

What Happens After You Call
Putting the right coverage in place does not have to eat your week. Here is how it usually goes.
- 1
A conversation about your operation
Tell us what you drive, what you haul, how far you run and who drives. We ask questions so the quote fits the real work, not a guess.
- 2
Gathering the details
We will ask for your DOT number and MC authority if you have them, VINs and values for your trucks and trailers, driver information and any loss runs. If something is missing, we tell you exactly where to get it.
- 3
Reviewing your options
We go over the coverage choices with you by phone, video or at our office, pointing out deductibles, exclusions and limits. You decide what to buy, with no rush.
- 4
Binding, filings and certificates
Once you choose, we help bind the policy, get the required filings submitted and send certificates of insurance to the brokers and shippers you work with. After that, call us whenever your operation changes.
A Local Agency for Trucking Businesses
We are a small insurance agency that focuses on trucking. Our customers are owner-operators, new motor carriers, small and mid-size fleets, and the hotshot, box truck and dump truck businesses that keep freight and job sites moving.
We keep things personal. You get straight answers, honest advice about what you need and what you can skip, and help when a broker calls asking for a certificate or a truck needs to be added. It is the kind of service you would expect from someone down the road, because that is who we are.

Questions Truckers Ask Us
How much does trucking insurance cost?
It depends on your drivers, equipment, cargo, radius and how long you have had your authority. Two trucks that look alike can price very differently. The surest way to an honest number is to call us with your details so we can put together a quote for your operation.
Can I get coverage with a brand-new MC authority?
Yes. New authorities are a big part of what we do. Underwriters will look closely at your commercial driving experience and records, and we help you gather the right information so your liability filing can be submitted and your authority can activate.
What filings do I need before I can haul?
For interstate for-hire hauling, the FMCSA requires proof of liability coverage filed by your insurance company, and many carriers also need a cargo filing. Some states have their own requirements. We explain which ones apply to your operation and help make sure they are filed.
What is the difference between bobtail and non-trucking liability?
The terms are often used loosely. Non-trucking liability covers a leased-on owner-operator when the truck is used for personal reasons, off dispatch. True bobtail coverage applies when driving without a trailer, sometimes even under dispatch. We read your lease agreement with you to see which one you need.
How much cargo coverage do brokers want?
Many brokers and shippers ask for a set minimum, and some loads require more, especially high-value or refrigerated freight. Check your broker agreements, then call us. We will match your cargo coverage to those requirements and point out exclusions that could affect your loads.
Do I have to come into the office?
No. Many of our customers handle everything by phone and video. If you would rather sit down in person, you are welcome at our office in Roswell.
Can you send certificates of insurance to my brokers?
Yes. Once your policy is in place, tell us who needs a certificate of insurance and we will send it. When you pick up a new broker or shipper, just call with their information.
How We Work With Truckers
Insurance for a truck is a business decision, and a confusing one. We treat your call the way we would want a neighbor to treat ours: honest answers, no pressure, and someone who picks up the phone after the policy is bound.
We explain before you sign
Exclusions, deductibles and radius limits are where drivers get surprised after a claim. We walk through them with you in plain language, line by line, so you know what is covered and what is not.
No overselling
If a coverage does not fit how you run, we tell you. A local box truck operator does not need the same policy as a long-haul flatbed, and you should not pay as if you do.
Filings and certificates handled with you
Your liability filing has to reach the FMCSA before your authority goes active, and brokers want a certificate of insurance before they hand you a load. We help keep that paperwork moving so it does not sit in your way.
Same person, start to renewal
When you add a truck, hire a driver or change lanes, you talk to people who already know your file. That makes midterm changes and renewals simpler.
Meet how it suits you
Sit down at our office, or do it all by phone and video from the cab or the yard. Either way, you get the same careful review.
