Services
Auto Liability
Our auto liability coverage protects trucking operations against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. Designed for both short-haul and long-haul carriers, this program ensures compliance with federal and state regulations while safeguarding business assets. Coverage applies to vehicles transporting dry vans, flatbeds, tankers, and hazardous materials.
Worker's Compensation
This essential coverage addresses job-related injuries and illnesses for trucking company employees. Our policies comply with state-specific requirements while offering comprehensive benefits for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages. We specialize in risk management strategies to reduce workplace incidents and control premium costs for transportation businesses.
Motor Truck Cargo
Designed to cover cargo loss or damage during transit, this service protects carriers' financial responsibility for shipped goods. Policies accommodate various cargo types including refrigerated, intermodal, and hazardous materials. We provide tailored limits and deductibles to match the specific risks associated with different freight categories and transportation routes.
Excess/Umbrella Coverages
These policies provide supplementary liability limits beyond primary insurance programs. Excess coverage extends trucking companies' financial protection for catastrophic losses, while umbrella policies offer broader coverage for multiple risk categories. We help clients determine appropriate limits based on fleet size, cargo values, and operational exposure.
Owner-Operator Coverages
Tailored insurance solutions for owner-operators in the trucking industry address both personal and commercial risks. Our programs include primary liability, physical damage, and occupational accident coverage. Policies are structured to meet carrier requirements while protecting individual drivers' assets and ensuring compliance with lease agreements and federal regulations.
