Commercial Truck Insurance

Commercial truck insurance requirements are regulated by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of California. Requirements vary based on the vehicle weight, operating radius, cargo type hauled and contract obligations. Truck owners can also select to have:

Auto Liability

Limits Requirements range from $750,00- $5,000,00. Vehicles operated under 10,001 require $300,000. This combined single limit provides coverage for bodily injuries, and property damage.

Motor Truck Cargo

is also vital when selecting coverage as this protects the loads trucks transport from warehouse to warehouse. Depending on the type of commodity hauled truckers will need limits raging from $50,000 up to $100,000.
