Truck Insurance by Cargo Type

What you haul is the first thing a trucking underwriter wants to know. It decides which insurers are interested and what coverage you need.

Commodity drives everything

Insurers group trucking risks by commodity because it predicts both how likely a crash is and how expensive a cargo claim can be. A dump truck on a construction site and a reefer on the Thruway face completely different exposures.

List every commodity you haul, including occasional loads. Hauling something that is not on the policy can leave a cargo claim uncovered.
