What Our Clients Say
Trusted by owner-operators and fleets across the country.
βFull Coverage saved me over $4,000 a year on my fleet policy. Nazar took the time to understand my operation and found carriers that actually want flatbed business. Best switch I ever made.β
John T.
Owner-Operator, 6-Truck Flatbed Fleet β Texas
βWe were paying way too much with our old broker. Full Coverage shopped our account across multiple carriers and cut our premiums significantly without sacrificing coverage. They handle everything, renewals, certificates, claims support.β
Maria S.
Fleet Manager, Refrigerated Transport β Georgia
βAs a new authority, I was getting turned down everywhere. Nazar found me a solid policy with a top carrier at a fair price. Got my certificate the same day. These guys know trucking insurance better than anyone I've worked with.β

Launch Carrier LookupWhat Is Truck Insurance?
Truck insurance is the set of commercial auto policies that keep a trucking business legal, financed, and on the road. Unlike personal auto, truck insurance must satisfy federal motor carrier requirements, state DOT requirements, lender contracts on financed equipment, and shipper contracts that often require specific cargo limits and additional insureds.
A typical for-hire interstate operator carries primary liability ($750,000 minimum federally, $1M standard), motor truck cargo ($100,000 minimum, $250,000+ for most contracts), physical damage (comp + collision on the truck and trailer), and FMCSA filings (BMC-91/91X liability + MCS-90 endorsement). Owner-operators leased to a motor carrier instead carry non-trucking liability and physical damage.
Full Coverage is an independent brokerβ we don't sell our own policy. We compare quotes from 30+ A-rated carriers (Progressive, Canal, Liberty Mutual, Protective, Berkley One, National Interstate, Northland, Old Republic and more) in one application. For specialty risks like new authority, hot shot, or prior cancellations, the spread between carriers can be $3,000β$8,000 per truck per year. For clean fleets it's still 10β15% on average.

Types of Commercial Truck Insurance
1. Primary Liability (BIPD)
Bodily injury and property damage caused to others. Federal minimum is $750,000 for general freight, $1,000,000 standard for most operators, $5,000,000 for hazmat. Required by FMCSA for all for-hire interstate carriers via truckers' liability.
2. Motor Truck Cargo
Coverage for the freight you haul against theft, damage, and loss in transit. Most shipper contracts require $100,000 minimum; reefer and high-value freight contracts often require $250,000+. See cargo coverage details.
3. Physical Damage
Comprehensive and collision coverage for the truck and trailer. Required by lenders if the equipment is financed. Premium scales with stated value of the unit. Physical damage details.
4. Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail)
Coverage for leased owner-operators when the truck is being used for non-business purposes (e.g., driving home after dropping a load). Required by most motor carriers as a condition of the lease.
5. Trailer Interchange
Coverage for non-owned trailers in your possession under a written interchange agreement. Default form is physical damage; liability form requires a documented contract.
6. General Liability
Premises liability and product liability for events outside the auto policy (e.g., a customer slips and falls at your yard). Most shipper contracts require $1M GL on top of $1M auto liability.
What Does Commercial Truck Insurance Cover?
A complete commercial truck insurance policy protects four things: other people (primary liability for bodily injury + property damage to third parties), your equipment (physical damage on the truck and trailer), your cargo (motor truck cargo for freight in transit), and your business operations (general liability + non-trucking liability for off-duty exposures).
Federal FMCSA insurance requirements mandate primary liability and an MCS-90 endorsement for all for-hire interstate motor carriers; cargo (BMC-32/34) is separately required only for household-goods movers per 49 CFR 387.303(b). Most state DOT regulators require additional Form-E or Form-H filings for intrastate operations.
What standard policies do not cover: occupational accident (separate policy for the driver), workers compensation (state-mandated, separate), reefer breakdown (cargo endorsement), pollution liability from spills (CA-9948 endorsement), and on-hook / garagekeepers for tow operators (specialty coverage).
How to Get Commercial Truck Insurance
- 1. Confirm your FMCSA registration is active. Carriers will not bind without an active USDOT and MC number (for-hire). New authority operators need to wait for FMCSA authority to be granted before binding (typically 21-25 days after MCS-150 + OP-1 filings).
- 2. Gather underwriting documents. You'll need: current MVR for every driver, copy of CDL, vehicle list with VINs and stated values, prior policy declarations page (if renewing), and 3-5 years of loss runs from prior carriers.
- 3. Decide: broker or direct? A broker (like Full Coverage) shops 30+ carriers in one application β useful for new authority, specialty risks, or anyone who wants comparison. Going direct (Progressive, GEICO) gets you one carrier's rate with no shopping.
- 4. Get apples-to-apples quotes. Verify each quote has the same liability limit ($1M typical), same cargo limit ($100K minimum, $250K for most contracts), same deductibles ($1K-$5K typical), and the same FMCSA filings included. Apples-to-oranges comparisons are how customers end up with policies that don't meet shipper requirements.
- 5. Pay the down payment to bind. Most carriers require 20-25% down for monthly-pay plans. Premium financing through AFCO or Imperial PFS is available for fleets. ACH typically saves 2-4% vs. credit-card pay.
- 6. Receive proof of insurance + filings. ACORD 25 certificate of insurance (COI) is delivered same-day in most cases. BMC-91/MCS-90 filings to FMCSA are typically active within 24 hours of binding.
Full Coverage handles steps 2 through 6 for you β you provide the documents, we shop the carriers, present the best fit, and bind the policy + filings the same day. Start your application.

BMC-32 (Cargo)
Required for household goods movers. We write it as part of the cargo policy when applicable.
