Top questions to ask about trucking insurance

Whether you operate your truck in Davie, FL, or all over the country, it is critical to have a comprehensive trucking policy in place. The specialists at Zot Insurance Agency would be happy to guide you through the process of putting together a policy that is customized to your trucking needs. 

How do I know what type of policy I need for my truck?

Trucks are classified into three different categories, and depending on the type of truck you have, we will be able to determine the right policy. A truck will either be insured as a light, medium, or heavy-duty truck. Each one of those classes of trucks requires a specific policy. 

What type of coverage do I need?

While each truck company is different, below are the basic coverages most trucking companies carry. 

  • Commercial Auto Liability: A commercial auto policy will help pay for liability and property damage in the event your truck is in an accident with a third party.

  • Physical Damage coverage: Unlike the commercial auto policy that only covers third party damages, the physical damage coverage will help repair or replace your truck in the event of an accident. 

  • Motor Truck Cargo: Truck cargo insurance will help recover the cost in the event the load you are carrying is lost or damaged.

What is the insurance company rating? 

This is a critical question to ask as you want to make sure the insurance company will be around in the event you need to file a claim. A high rating indicates a financially sound insurance company. 

Do I need an umbrella policy? 

Considering an umbrella policy is never a bad idea. As you know, trucking accidents can cause a large amount of damage, and an umbrella policy will offer you additional protection.
