General Liability Insurance (GL) protects large fleet owners beyond vehicle accidents. It covers risks like property damage and bodily injuries on your business premises or during operations. This coverage protects the premises, products, and operations beyond your auto liability, as well as personal injuries and medical payments within your policy limits. Choosing the right General Liability Insurance protects your business from the unpredictable trucking industry, giving you peace of mind.

Transtar Insurance Brokers knows large fleet owners need simple, reliable auto liability insurance. How we can help:

Contingent Auto Liability: This coverage protects motor carriers from bankruptcy or primary insurance failure. The policy covers claims within its scope, protecting you from unexpected liabilities.

Truck Broker Liability Insurance: For freight broker operations, this more comprehensive option covers bodily injuries and property damage. It can be combined with General Liability for greater protection.

Primary auto liability insurance is available for direct coverage. This option covers a lot, but it's expensive if you need higher limits.

We tailor coverage limits to your needs, usually $1 million to $25 million. We'll help you understand your insurance policy so you can make informed decisions and run your fleet safely and efficiently.

Motor Truck Cargo Insurance protects large fleets from loss, damage, or destruction of goods in transit. Carriers not transporting household goods are not required to carry cargo insurance, but it is important to protect your liability and the goods being transported. You should choose a policy that meets your needs, taking into account exclusions and deductibles. For-hire motor carriers usually cover up to $100,000, but this can vary depending on the goods and shippers' or brokers' needs. Keep client trust and business assets safe with this insurance.

Large fleet owners need physical damage coverage to protect their vehicles from various incidents. This insurance has two main parts:

Collision coverage: This protects your vehicles from damage from collisions with other vehicles or objects.

Comprehensive Coverage: This option covers theft, fire, and other non-collision truck damages.

Both coverage types are essential, especially if your trucks are financed or have a lien holder, to protect your investment from many risks. Maintaining operational integrity and financial security requires physical damage coverage.

In the trucking industry, Occupational Accident Coverage (OCC/ACC) is a crucial kind of insurance for large fleet operators. By providing financial security in situations where employees might otherwise file claims under the motor carrier's worker's compensation policy, this coverage serves as a safety net. The motor carrier or the driver themselves can obtain it to ensure complete protection.

Large fleet owners need non-trucking liability (NTL) and Bobtail insurance to cover property damage and bodily injury claims during non-commercial driving.

Non-Trucking Liability Insurance (NTL): The driver needs this insurance when the truck is not in service and is used for personal purposes. A commercial policy endorsement provides protection regardless of trailer attachment.

Bobtail insurance: This coverage applies to "bobtailing." when the truck is driven without a trailer. Bobtail insurance protects the tractor when not hauling a trailer, regardless of dispatch status.

Non-Trucking Liability and Bobtail Insurance are more than just legal requirements for trucking industry professionals, who face daily risks. They provide a safety net against unforeseen events.

Excess and umbrella insurance are vital for large fleet owners, providing an additional layer of liability protection that extends beyond the limits of primary insurance policies. These coverages are crucial in the trucking industry, where the potential for substantial financial losses can be high.

Excess Insurance: This coverage enhances the limits of an existing liability policy without altering the terms of the underlying coverage. It's activated when claims exceed the limits of the primary policy, ensuring that your business remains protected against large-scale financial liabilities.

Umbrella Insurance: Similar to excess insurance, umbrella insurance offers additional liability coverage but can also fill coverage gaps that might exist in primary policies. It provides broader protection against a range of liabilities that could potentially devastate a business.
