Unique Coverage for Bulk Commodity Haulers
Bulk Commodity Carriers insurance at Great West is designed to protect the unique needs of commodity carriers and tank haulers. We insure motor carriers that transport hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
Our team of trucking insurance professionals understands that transporting food-grade materials, chemicals, industrial liquids, and flammable commodities can be more demanding than the average freight load. You deal with situations daily that transporters of packaged materials simply never face. That includes hazmat carriers. We can meet the financial requirements for hazmat filings.
Whether you’re a bulk dry hauler or transport liquid bulk freight, we’ve created insurance products that protect your trucking business.

Advantages of Great West Bulk Commodity Carriers Insurance
At Great West, we only write commercial trucking insurance. That singular focus on motor carrier operations means we understand the ins and outs of the risks your trucking business faces.
To protect the interests of bulk commodity haulers, we take a multi-pronged approach to insuring your operation, your cargo, and your trucks. We work to ensure that you don’t have gaps in your insurance policy, regardless of whether you’re an owner operator or manage a multi-truck fleet.
You’ll find our Bulk Commodity Carriers insurance policies include several unique benefits that both extend your protection and help you manage your premiums.

Benefits of Great West’s Motor Carrier Coverage
Great West’s Motor Carrier policy provides two stand-out advantages for bulk haulers.
- Our Motor Carrier coverage includes pollution loss caused by cargo, without requiring an endorsement or election. That means Great West’s standard Motor Carrier coverage will protect your business if your truck is in an accident and your cargo leaks at the crash site and causes damage. A good example of this would be if your tanker overturns and its diesel cargo leaks, spreading across the landscape and causing environmental harm.
- A Great West’s standard Auto Liability coverage protects your truck until your delivery is complete. That means your Auto Liability policy would kick in if, for example, you’re unloading your truck at your destination and a delivery hose ruptures before your load is emptied.

Advantages of Great West’s Cargo Coverage
As part of Great West’s Bulk Commodity Carriers insurance, our Cargo coverage includes a distinct benefit that bulk haulers should never be without. Our Cargo coverage protects against losses during loading and unloading and damage to cargo from misdelivery.
That means your Cargo coverage would protect your trucking business if you have a mishap at a dock or make a mistake while delivering a load. A good example: your Cargo coverage would respond if a tank of gasoline is spoiled when it is unloaded into a customer’s half-full diesel underground tank.
