Businesses that need box truck insurance

Many types of business require box truck insurance for risks associated with long and short-haul trucking. The most common industries include:

• Delivery for hire and courier services
• Distributors / wholesalers warehouse operations
• Retail operations like furniture stores

Smaller companies might also use box trucks. For example, a bakery might own a box truck that it uses to transport products to local clients.

Your profession — along with your driving history, typical travel radius and cargo — can impact your box truck insurance cost.

Typical box truck insurance coverages

Typical box truck insurance coverage depends on whether you carry your own products or are a for-hire trucker.

Private carriers might need to purchase basic box truck insurance coverages, such as:

• Liability insurance, which can cover injuries or damage to people or property if you’re at fault in an accident.
• Physical Damage coverage, which protects your vehicle if it is damaged in an accident.

If you’re a for-hire trucker owner-operator and you ride under another companies’ authority that provides Primary Liability insurance, you may only need to purchase bobtail box truck insurance coverages, including:

• Non-Trucking Liability insurance or bobtail, which covers your truck when you aren’t under dispatch.
• Motor Truck Cargo insurance in some rare cases, which protects the goods you’re hauling.

The standard coverages options are liability insurance, collision insurance, comprehensive insurance, medical coverage, uninsured/underinsured insurance. In addition to the standard coverages we offer, we offer many specialty trucking coverages including:

• Motor Truck Cargo Insurance
• Motor Truck General Liability Insurance
• Non-Trucking Liability Insurance
