Orlando, Fla.— So, what is commercial truck insurance? It is a group of insurance auto policies created to cover the needs of the trucking industry. There is a big difference between primary liability and general liability. If you want insurance to be able to drive, the primary liability coverage is what you may need. This type of insurance will only cover the damage to another vehicle or to a person in the event of an accident, that way at least the public is protected. All trucks require at least $750,000 in insurance coverage. Now, in order to get your trucks out there in roads, then you will need general liability. The general liability offers additional protection in cases of lawsuits or a libel/slander/false advertising claim against your business. In other words, if you drive on your own as an independent truck driver, what you may need is a primary liability insurance, but if you are an owner/operator of a trucking business with a vision to expand you will need general liability coverage. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) might require certain trucking operations (for example, those that haul cars) to show proof of adequate general liability coverage. Drivers have to prove they have a minimum of primary truck insurance to be approved by the FMCSA. Leasing agreements for the trucks might also require proof of general liability truck insurance. Is a commercial auto policy good enough to protect my trucking operation? Truck drivers face day-to-day risks than cars/vans, and for-hire truckers need truck insurance, otherwise, truck drivers might find themselves vastly under-insured under a commercial auto plan (or unable to get behind the wheel at all).
