Frequently asked questions

What insurance does an owner-operator need when leased to a carrier?

At minimum: non-trucking liability, physical damage on your tractor, and occupational accident coverage. Your motor carrier's policy covers primary liability while you're under dispatch, but you need NTL for personal use and bobtail coverage.

How much does owner-operator insurance cost?

Leased owner-operators typically pay $3,000–$6,000/year for NTL + physical damage. If you have your own authority, expect $10,000–$18,000+ for a full primary liability package. We find you the best rates from trucking-specific carriers.

What's the difference between bobtail and non-trucking liability?

Non-trucking liability covers personal use of your truck when you're not under dispatch. Bobtail specifically covers you when driving without a trailer (bobtailing). Some policies combine both; others are separate. We'll make sure you have the right coverage.
