Trucking Insurance Basics for Owner-Operators and Small Fleets

The key coverages owner-operators and small fleets need, explained plainly.

Whether you run one truck or a small fleet out of Southern Colorado, the right insurance keeps you on the road and in compliance.

Core coverages

  • Primary auto liability (often required by FMCSA)
  • Physical damage for your tractor and trailer
  • Motor truck cargo
  • Non-trucking or bobtail liability
  • Workers' compensation or occupational accident

Rates depend on your radius, cargo, driver records and equipment. Call us to review your current setup — we'll make sure the certificate your shippers ask for matches what you actually have.

Real people. Real guidance.

Let’s talk about what matters.
