This is the most important coverage for trucking transport. It provides protection against claims for bodily injury and property damage caused by the insured truck driver during their operations. Liability insurance typically includes two components: bodily injury liability and property damage liability.
Non-Trucking Liability Insurance (Bobtail Insurance):
This coverage is designed for independent truck drivers who operate their vehicles for personal use outside of their contracted work. It provides liability protection when the truck is not carrying a load or involved in work-related activities.
Cargo insurance covers the cargo transported by the truck against loss or damage during transit. It protects the trucking company or owner from financial losses resulting from theft, fire, accidents, or other covered perils that may cause damage to or loss of cargo.
This coverage protects the truck itself from damage or loss due to accidents, theft, vandalism, or other specified events. It typically includes collision coverage, which pays for damage to the insured truck in the event of a collision with another vehicle or object, as well as comprehensive coverage, which covers damage caused by non-collision incidents such as fire, theft, or natural disasters.
This coverage is relevant when trucking companies or drivers haul trailers owned by others under a trailer interchange agreement. It provides protection for physical damage to the trailer while it is in the care, custody, and control of the insured party.
