Operating a commercial truck comes with numerous risks, but having the right insurance coverage can provide you with the peace of mind you need to protect your livelihood.

When selecting commercial truck insurance, it's crucial to ask the right questions to ensure you have adequate coverage:

  • What are the deductibles for different coverages?

  • How much can I save by adjusting deductibles?

  • Are my coverage limits sufficient, or am I underinsured?

  • Are there any unnecessary coverages in my policy?

  • What discounts are available to me?

While price is important, choosing the right amount of coverage is crucial for protecting your business. Comparing policies based on coverage rather than solely on price can ultimately save you money in the long run.
