4 FAQs about dump truck insurance

If you have dump trucks or run a dump truck business, there’s a lot that you have to juggle. One aspect of your business that might have you feeling a little overwhelmed is the dump truck insurance part of things. You probably have quite a few questions about the insurance you need for your business. We’re going to answer four frequently asked questions about dump truck insurance so you have a place to start when considering dump truck insurance.

What you need to know about dump truck insurance.

1. What insurance coverage do I need for a dump truck?

It’s important to make sure that you have the coverage you need for your dump trucks. The following are some coverages that you may want to consider for your vehicles (although they’re not the only ones you might want to consider):

  • Auto liability insurance – Liability insurance can help you cover your legal obligation to other drivers if you’re at-fault in an accident. It can also help cover legal expenses if the other driver sues.
    • Bodily injury liability – Bodily injury liability can help cover the medical expenses and pain and suffering of other driver and their passengers.
    • Property damage liability – Property damage liability can help repair or replace the other driver’s vehicle (or other property) that you damage in an accident.
  • Physical damage insurance – This coverage can help you get your dump truck back on the road ASAP if it’s damaged. Your liability insurance will not help you repair or replace your dump truck if something happens to it.
    • Collision coverage – Collision coverage can help you repair or replace your dump truck if it’s damaged in an accident or by another collision.
    • Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive coverage can help you repair or replace your dump truck if it’s damaged by something other than an accident. It covers losses such as fire, theft, falling objects (like trees), animal strikes, and vandalism.
  • Truckers’ general liability – Trucker’s general liability helps cover claims of bodily injury or property damage that happen because of the services your business provides or the day-to-day operation of your business.
  • Rental reimbursement – This coverage can help you get a rental vehicle if you’re in an accident and your truck is in the shop so you don’t have to stop working.

There are many things that can affect your dump truck insurance. Insurance companies look at many different details about your business when they’re setting rates because it gives them an idea of how risky you would be to insure.

The following can affect the cost of dump truck insurance:

  • Your location
  • Your drivers and their MVRs
  • Claims/losses
  • Speeding tickets/accidents
  • Your radius
  • The vehicle itself (Year, make, model)

  • How long your business has existed
