Truck Insurance Basics

Owner Operator(s) with Authority
As an owner operator, you need your own commercial truck insurance. These include Liability, Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Coverage, Physical Damage, Motor Truck Cargo, and Motor Truck General Liability Insurance. Fisher Insurance will help make sense of it all and make sure you are fully protected.

Leased Owner Operator(s)
Truck owner(s) and driver(s) leased to a motor carrier with authority. The lease agreement determines the insurance requirements needed. In most cases, the motor carrier provides Primary Liability Insurance when you are working for them or on dispatch. You may need to purchase additional coverages including, Non-trucking Liability, Bobtail, Physical Damage and Motor Truck Cargo insurance. Fisher Insurance will help make sense of it all and make sure you are fully protected.

Primary Liability also known as Primary Auto Liability
Insurance that covers damages to someone else’s property, or injury(s) to others in an accident where you are at fault. This protection (for the public) is required by the FMCSA to obtain authority.

Non-Trucking Liability
Coverage for damages and injuries to others while your truck is not dispatched on a job, when using truck for personal use.

Physical Damage
Insurance to help fix damage to your truck if involved in an accident or protect your truck from theft.

Motor Truck Cargo
Insurance that protects you if the load your truck is carrying is damaged, lost or stolen during transit. Diminished Value and Constructive Total Loss Coverages available.

Bobtail Liability
This insurance covers you and your truck when not hauling a trailer or other load. For example, you drop off a load in Hartford and bobtail to Boston to pick up your next load (even if for a different company)…Bobtail insurance covers you during that portion of the trip. Bobtail also applies when you drive (tractor) home after dropping off the trailer (load).

General Liability
This coverage protects from risks that happen when not driving or on the road, such as a slip and fall at the office or property damage at a clients office or on their premises.

Unladen Liability
Liability coverage while your truck is being operated with an attached trailer that is empty without any load, or without a trailer at all, whether you have been dispatched or not.

Trailer Interchange
Physical Damage insurance for trailers being pulled under a trailer interchange agreement. Physical Damage insurance for non-owned trailers. Protects you if trailer is damaged by a collision, fire, explosion, theft, or vandalism. Since you don’t own the trailers, they require separate insurance because they aren’t covered under your regular Physical Damage Insurance.
