FAQs

Have questions? We have answers.

What are optional coverages and why should I care?

Our standard coverages will meet most of your needs. Optional coverages tailor your policy to your unique business. Work with your agent to see what optional coverages are right for you.

What is business income coverage and why would a trucker need it?

If your insured vehicle is involved in a loss, that often means you lose the income that vehicle would have earned. Business income coverage protects your business by replacing the lost operating income during the period your vehicle or equipment is being repaired or replaced.

Why do I need workers compensation insurance?

Most states require employers to have this coverage. If an employee gets hurt on the job, workers’ compensation pays for  medical costs so you don't have to. It also pays for lost wages if the injury causes missed time from work. Work comp also comes with employment liability coverage, which pays your defense costs if an employee claims the injury was caused by unsafe working conditions.
