Let’s dive into what agricultural truck insurance is, why it’s important, and how we can help you get the perfect policy for your needs.
What Is Agricultural Truck Insurance?
Agricultural truck insurance is a specialized type of coverage designed to protect vehicles used in the agricultural industry. It’s not your run-of-the-mill auto insurance; this coverage takes into account the unique needs and risks faced by farmers, ranchers, and agricultural businesses. Whether you own a single flatbed truck or manage a fleet of livestock haulers, agricultural truck insurance ensures that your vehicles, your cargo, and your bottom line are safeguarded.
Auto Liability
Covers bodily injury and property damage if your truck causes an accident. This is often required by law and protects your business from costly lawsuits and medical expenses.
Cargo Insurance
Protects the goods you’re hauling, whether it’s crops, livestock, or equipment, from damage, theft, or loss during transit.
Physical Damage
Covers repair or replacement costs for your truck if it’s damaged in an accident, by weather, or due to theft or vandalism.
Trailer Interchange
Covers physical damage to trailers you don’t own but are hauling under a trailer interchange agreement, ensuring you're protected even when hauling someone else’s equipment.
General Liability
Covers third-party injuries or property damage unrelated to your truck, such as accidents on your farm or damage during loading and unloading.
