Suit Up, Birmingham: Trucking Insurance 101
Auto Liability
As the old saying goes, "it's all fun and games until someone loses a bumper." Auto liability is the cornerstone of your trucking insurance policy. It covers damages and injuries you might cause to others in an accident. This coverage is not just a good idea, it's required by law. Like a trusty GPS guiding you through rush hour on the Red Mountain Expressway, it's an essential tool in your navigation kit.
Physical Damage
Now, imagine this: a flying squirrel (Alabama’s state mammal, mind you!) decides to take a detour and lands smack on your windshield while you're cruising down I-459. Not to worry, your physical damage insurance has got you covered for unexpected events, from collisions to, yes, even rogue flying squirrels.

Trucks carry more than just their weight around these parts. They haul the commodities that keep Birmingham running.
