Keep Your Rig Covered with Trucking Insurance

Some places may be lauded as relatively safe areas to drive in, but that doesn't mean you can drive freely without insurance coverage. On roads and highways, ice, snow, and rain are common in many parts of the United States so there are many instances where you might get involved in an accident at some point. Thus, it's important for all drivers to be insured before they can get behind the wheel.

The specifics of this vary from province to province, but generally, your policy must cover for losses (i.e. property damage, personal injury, death) and your own medical expenses. For truckers and drivers of different types of vehicels, insurance policies should also have these basic inclusions. Other types of coverage like theft and vandalism protection for your vehicle are usually considered optional but they would be very useful for operators and owners.

As such, it is important for you to review both federal and provincial laws regarding vehicle insurance before you obtain your own policy. You should also know that various companies have different conditions for particular kinds of policies. For instance, some may offer “comprehensive” and “collision” coverage for trucks, while others may go with the more ambiguous “all perils” coverage, but these may not include specific instances under the fine print.
