What Does Commercial Truck Insurance Cover?
Commercial Trucking Insurance in Texas is very similar to auto insurance in Texas. Policies are available with several types of insurance coverage to fit each trucker’s specific needs. Commercial Truck Insurance policies are specially designed to protect your business and your personal assets. Thumann Insurance can provide you and your truckers with excellent coverage including:
Commercial Truck Liability Insurance
Commercial Truck Liability Insurance covers your liability risks if you or one of your drivers has an accident. Your policy will include bodily injury liability to cover the costs of any injuries and/or medical expenses for the injured party. You will also have property damage liability to cover the costs of any property damage resulting from an accident. Your Commercial Truck Liability Insurance will also cover the expenses of your legal defense.
Physical Damage Coverage
Physical Damage Coverage covers any damage to your vehicle from an accident or other incidents. It also includes comprehensive coverage that pays for damage from theft, vandalism, and non-collision causes. Physical Damage Coverage also includes collision coverage.
Uninsured Motorists Coverage
Uninsured Motorists Coverage covers any costs of damages and injuries to you or one of your employees when the other driver is at fault but has no insurance. This ensures that you, your truck, and your employees get the assistance you need - when you need it.
Does my Truck Insurance Cover My Trailer?
Depending on your insurance cover, your trailer attached to your truck may or may not be covered. It is crucial to have a thorough understanding of your policy to know how you are protected in the event of a collision.
Many insurance providers may use an ambiguous language where if there is a collision involving your trailer, it will not be covered because technically, the truck was not damaged. This situation can end up being a costly mistake.
Other insurance policies may only cover your trailer if you own it; however, if an accident occurred involving your truck while you tow a trailer, it may not be covered. We offer comprehensive truck insurance policies that would cover your trailer in the event of an accident.

What Does Non-Trucking Insurance Mean? What Does It Cover?
Non-Trucking Liability (NTL) insurance coverage protects drivers when they use their truck for non-business related purposes. NTL insurance helps provide more thorough coverage for the motor carriers’ primary liability policy.
Non-Trucking Liability insurance coverage can be tricky to determine when it is applied. Since most truck drivers navigate across multiple states, many variables can influence if the driver is protected, including which route the owner took, the number of non-business stops, and if the driver was pulling a trailer.
Also, the window to utilize NTL insurance is smaller than a Primary Commerical Auto Liability policy. Chat with a member of our team to learn more about which policy would be best for you and your business.
