Driver and load liability risk travels with you, and you need coverage that hangs on for the whole ride. Even if you’re using a personal pickup truck, you shouldn’t rely on personal auto coverage or the cheapest coverage you can find. Truckers have a few additional liabilities to consider.

Don’t get skipped for jobs because of improper insurance. Most MSAs (Master Service Agreements) and contracts want proof of insurance with certain minimums to consider you for a job.  MSA’s often transfer various legal liability issues to the trucker that go beyond the minimum insurance requirements.  Because of these transfers of risk, it’s good business to have an insurance advisor to help you offset your risk.
