Protecting your business on the road.
At Mr. Insurance, we understand that your commercial trucking business is more than just a job—it’s the backbone of your livelihood. Whether you’re an independent owner-operator or manage a fleet of trucks, having the right insurance coverage is crucial to protecting your business, your drivers, and your vehicles. Our comprehensive commercial trucking insurance policies are designed to provide you with the protection you need, ensuring peace of mind every mile of the way.
Liability Coverage
Liability insurance is the cornerstone of any commercial trucking policy. It provides essential protection against the financial consequences of accidents where your truck is at fault. This coverage includes Bodily Injury Liability, which covers medical expenses and legal fees for injuries sustained by others, and Property Damage Liability, which covers the costs of repairing or replacing property damaged in the accident. Without liability insurance, your trucking business could face substantial financial exposure, making this coverage a must-have.
Physical Damage
Physical damage insurance safeguards your truck against a wide range of potential risks. This type of coverage is divided into Collision Coverage and Comprehensive Coverage. Collision coverage pays for damages to your truck resulting from collisions, whether with another vehicle or an object, regardless of fault. Comprehensive coverage, on the other hand, protects your truck from non-collision incidents such as theft, vandalism, fire, or natural disasters.
Cargo Insurance
For businesses that transport goods, cargo insurance is crucial. This coverage protects the value of the goods you’re hauling, providing financial compensation if your cargo is damaged, lost, or stolen while in transit. Given the high value and importance of the goods being transported, cargo insurance is a vital component of any commercial trucking policy, ensuring that both your clients and your business are protected from significant financial losses.
