Locating Inexpensive Trucking Insurance

By Steve Turner

Trucking insurance coverage can be obtained at a various range of costs. Besides looking for the most affordable rates, see what else you can do to lower your premium even further. Look into getting coverage from an insurance company that specializes in trucking insurance.

Typically the age of a semi truck won't have much affect on your insurance rate. Insurance companies have found that newer trucks are not maintained the same as older ones. Because of this overall condition of the truck has more weight in the rate calculation.

If you are trying to reduce your premium make sure that tires, breaks and other features related to the safety are in the best condition. You can ensure their condition through receiving Department of Transportation inspections, even though they are not required for insurance coverage.

Safety is the largest concern in the truck insurance business. Adding signs such as "This truck makes wide turns" can also reduce your premium.

How many years you have been driving truck will affect your insurance premium. If you are between the ages of 30 and 65 it will be easier for you to receive coverage. Driving records that are clean will result in a lower premium rate.

Having long-haul trucking experience can make it easier for you to obtain favorable insurance coverage. If you have been with your employer for a number of years and have not job hopped this is also highly looked upon.

The service to expect from your provider is almost as important as receiving a competitive rate. Most truck insurers offer coverage around $750,000 to $1,000,000. Another thing to take into consideration is determining if you need to add cargo insurance to your policy, since not all providers offer this type.
