GEICO is currently the most affordable Commercial Truck Insurance option for Steel Haulers.
For years, Owner Operator Steel Hauling Insurance has been extremely difficult to find.
And as for rolled steel coils? Let’s just say, extremely difficult:)
Affordable Truck Insurance for Steel Haulers was usually limited to well established Motor Carriers.
Not anymore.
Steel Haulers can start a fast and easy CIS GEICO Truck Insurance Quote, or just call CIS (330) 864-1511.
Here’s why GEICO Steel Hauler Insurance includes some of the broadest Motor Truck Cargo Coverage on the Market:
GEICO offers Steel Freight coverage that many competitors just don’t.
If you’re a seasoned Steel Hauler, you’ve probably heard horror stories about insurance providers declining water damage claims.
And if you’re new to the game, just take a scroll through Reddit or Google—it’s all there.
The issue?
Some leading insurance companies completely exclude the perils of wetness, rust, or dampness from their Motor Truck Cargo policies.
This has resulted in some Steel Haulers having their water damage claims denied by their insurance provider.
Because of that, some Brokers started to refuse proof of insurance across the board from those insurance providers who reportedly rejected the water damage claims.
That’s where GEICO comes in.
What does the Little Gecko say about Water Damage to Cargo?
GEICO does not exclude the perils of wetness, rust or dampness as long as the freight is contained in a fully enclosed, water-tight dry van,
….or is completely covered by a securely fastened waterproof tarp.
Basically, if you keep the steel safe from getting wet or rusty, then GEICO is there for you.
You’re probably already protecting your freight, right?
So it can feel frustrating to have this pointed out.
But you work hard to find new accounts.
The last thing you want is to land a new customer or broker, only to have your insurance rejected through no fault of your own.

Will GEICO insure brand new Motor Carriers or Owner Operators hauling Steel?
Yes.
There are very few insurance providers who insure newbies in any kind of trucking.
If you’re already up and running and need to add a driver, the last thing you want is to deal with restrictions like 2- or 3-year CDL requirements to bring them on board.
When you need to grow or bring on a new driver, it’s usually something you need ASAP.
With a little help from CIS, GEICO can insure that newbie…and at a surprisingly reasonable rate.
Does GEICO have a radius or liability limitation for Steel Haulers?
GEICO’s Commercial Truck Policy has no radius restrictions and can insure a long haul unlimited radius Steel Hauler just as easily as the guy who drives local.
Most Steel Haulers require $1,000,000 Commercial Auto Liability and from $100,000 to $250,000 in Motor Truck Cargo.
GEICO can provide those limits and quickly process your FMCSA DOT insurance filings too.
Can GEICO insure Truckers who haul Coils or Rolled Steel?
Yep, they sure can.

- Primary Commercial Auto Liability (Primary and Non-Contributory)
