Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance do trucking companies in Florida need?

Most Florida motor carriers carry commercial auto liability, motor truck cargo, physical damage, and general liability. Fleet size, radius of operation, and the commodities you haul all shape the coverage. As an independent agency we shop multiple carriers to match your operation.

Does commercial auto cover cargo I am hauling?

No. Commercial auto liability covers bodily injury and property damage from an accident, but the freight itself is covered by motor truck cargo insurance. We usually pair the two so a damaged or stolen load does not come out of your pocket.

How is trucking insurance priced?

Carriers look at your driving records, years in operation, radius, vehicle values, cargo type, and loss history. Because we place coverage with several trucking markets, we can compare quotes instead of taking the first number a single carrier offers.
