Welcome to a world where security meets success in the realm of Commercial Trucking Insurance.
Commercial trucking insurance is of utmost importance as it provides essential protection for both the trucking company and other road users. The nature of commercial trucking involves long distances, heavy loads, and potential risks, making accidents and liability claims more likely. Commercial trucking insurance provides coverage for damages and injuries resulting from accidents and incidents and can protect the trucking company from financial losses. Additionally, it helps maintain compliance with any state or federal insurance requirements. Overall, commercial trucking insurance is necessary to mitigate risks, protect assets, and ensure the smooth operations and viability of trucking businesses.

Contingent auto liability coverage is primarily designed for leasing companies that own vehicles they lease to others. When a company leases a vehicle, it retains legal ownership and may be named in a lawsuit resulting from an accident involving the leased vehicle. This coverage protects the company in such situations. Additionally, trucking brokers who match privately owned trucks with jobs also assume liability and could face similar lawsuits. Contingent auto liability coverage would protect the broker in these cases as well.
It is common for truckers to use trailers belonging to others, and this coverage provides coverage for physical damage incurred to a trailer while it is in the driver’s possession.

The commercial trucking industry faces several risks that can impact their operations and profitability. These risks include accidents on the road, which can lead to injuries, fatalities, and damage to the vehicles and goods being transported. Other risks include theft of cargo, damage or loss of cargo due to natural disasters or other incidents, and equipment failures. The industry also faces regulatory risks, such as compliance with safety regulations and changes to laws and regulations that can affect operations. Additionally, trucking companies must navigate intense competition, rising fuel costs, and the challenge of finding qualified drivers to operate their vehicles. Overall, the commercial trucking industry faces a range of risks that require diligent risk management to ensure success and profitability.
There will always be a great need for truckers. They transport clothing, food, furniture, electrical goods, and more all across the country. The trucking industry accounts for more than 5% of all full-time jobs in the US. However, there is currently a shortage of approximately 80,000 drivers.
That means there is a chronic need for drivers on the roads for the country to keep receiving the goods it requires.
We appreciate that times are hard for those who are working in the trucking industry. That’s why we deliver excellent quality insurance for trucking companies. High-quality insurance is still necessary, despite the industry facing a downturn.
The downturn has left many business owners or independent drivers facing bankruptcy, with many having to look for other ways to make a living. In late 2019, one of the largest trucking firms – Celadon – closed its doors for good and left a staggering 3,000 drivers jobless. Individuals were stranded along the roads mid-route with no means of paying for fuel to get themselves home. This was the latest company in a long line of over 800 trucking firms and independent drivers to go under.
There are two main reasons for this ongoing catastrophe:
The market for insurance for trucking companies has been a touchy subject for a while. Increased premiums coupled with more and more insurers unwilling to take on the risks that come with the trucking industry have left thousands of workers unable to afford insurance. Or they have been unable to find insurance. This is even more of a problem for trucking businesses that have a safety or accident/loss record that is less than exemplary; these are often outright refused by insurers.
Commercial Trucking Insurance from XINSURANCE is available for all types of trucking companies and truck drivers in the industry.
