Frequently Asked Questions
What does truckers insurance cover?
Truckers insurance is a comprehensive package that typically includes primary auto liability, physical damage, motor truck cargo coverage, general liability, and optional add-ons like bobtail insurance and trailer interchange. The exact coverage depends on your operation type, the freight you haul, and whether you are an owner-operator or a motor carrier with authority.
How much does truckers insurance cost in California?
Premiums vary based on your driving record, years of experience, type of cargo, equipment value, and operating radius. In Southern California, annual premiums for an owner-operator typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 depending on these factors. We shop multiple carriers to find you the most competitive rate.
Do I need truckers insurance if I lease onto a carrier?
When you lease onto a carrier, the carrier's primary liability policy generally covers your truck while under dispatch. However, you still need non-trucking liability (bobtail) insurance for personal use, and you may want physical damage coverage to protect your equipment investment.
How quickly can I get a certificate of insurance?
We issue certificates of insurance the same business day, and in many cases within a few hours of binding your policy. If you need a COI for a broker, shipper, or lease agreement, call us at (657) 366-5312 and we will expedite it.
