California, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Tennessee, or Nevada,
or hauling across the U.S., we’ll get you road-ready with confidence.
Let’s get you covered and back on the road.
What Your Owner-Operator Policy Covers
As an independent trucker, your coverage needs are different. That’s why our owner-operator truck insurance packages are built around real-world risks—whether you’re leased on or operating under your own authority.
Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail Coverage)
Also known as
bobtail insurance, this protects your vehicle when you're off the clock—driving without a load or outside of business use. A key part of
non-trucking liability coverage for downtime.
Physical Damage Coverage
Included in most
commercial truck insurance policies, this helps pay for repairs or replacement of your truck following collision, fire, vandalism, or other covered events.
Cargo
Insurance
Essential for
owner-operators
hauling freight independently, this insurance covers cargo against damage, theft, or loss. From electronics to construction materials, your load stays protected.
Occupational Accident Coverage
A key part of personal protection in
owner-operator insurance, this covers medical bills, lost wages, and accidental death benefits if you’re injured on the job.
Liability Coverage While Under Dispatch
Meets the legal requirements for operating under your own authority, covering bodily injury and property damage during business use—vital for owner-operator truckers with DOT filings.
Trailer Interchange Coverage
Crucial if you operate under agreements to haul non-owned trailers. This addition to your truck insurance plan protects you when you're pulling someone else’s equipment.
