Commercial Truck Insurance Coverage

 

 

Commercial truck insurance is our specialty

Great West is a trusted national leader in trucking insurance. Our single focus is providing transportation and trucking businesses like yours with some of the most extensive Commercial Truck insurance coverage options in the industry.

From Commercial Auto Liability to Cargo Insurance, Physical Damage coverage to Workers Compensation, we can help you protect everything from your truck to your entire trucking operation.

Commercial Auto Liability

Commercial Auto Liability is the heart of Commercial Truck insurance coverage. This insurance for trucks is required for almost every semi truck on the road. Coverage includes bodily injury liability, property damage liability, medical payments, and Uninsured Motorist coverage. And with truck insurance coverage from Great West, know that our 24/7 claims service helps you get back on the road quickly.

Cargo Insurance Coverage

Cargo coverage is a motor carrier’s protection from financial loss due to damaged or lost cargo or freight. At Great West, we understand that the types of cargo you transport for your customers don’t always fit into a small, tidy box, so you’ll find we cover many types of cargo that other truck insurance companies exclude.

Owner Operator Insurance

Owner-Operator insurance is specifically designed to protect owner-run trucking businesses. It includes coverage for your dual responsibilities as both a motor carrier and a driver. Your Great West truck insurance policy is tailored to your risks based on whether you’re operating under lease to a motor carrier or operating under your own authority.

We can even fill gaps left by motor carrier insurance by including Cargo coverage, Equipment coverage, and Non-Trucking Use coverage in your policy. And, to make it easy, we offer Choice Coverage® Plus — all the coverage owner-operators need, bundled into one complete package.

Commercial General Liability

Great West also offers options to add Garagekeepers coverage and Employee Benefits Liability coverage.

Excess Policies

Excess Commercial Truck insurance coverage provides additional protection for your business. It kicks in when your primary coverage limits have been exhausted. Excess coverage adds an important layer of protection to shield your trucking business against catastrophic losses.

Workers Compensation

We offer a Workers Compensation policy that is focused on helping motor carriers and fleet owners protect your biggest assets — your employees and drivers. Our focus on accident reduction, claims management, and service means you have a team on your side to help you protect your employees as well as your trucking business if an injury occurs on the job. Great West also offers Occupational Accident coverage with flexible options.
