With Progressive’s new Cargo Plus endorsement, Small Truckers get even more protection with expanded coverage:

This expanded cargo coverage is rolling out nationwide and is already available in 42 states, with more on the way.

If you’re a Progressive customer who already has Motor Truck Cargo coverage, you should automatically get this broader protection starting April 16, 2025.

*Not available yet in California, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, or Virginia.

**Refrigeration Breakdown coverage isn’t available in California or Florida.

Does Progressive Commercial Truck Insurance Cover Financed Value?

Yes, Financed Value coverage is a handy little perk that automatically comes with your Progressive Commercial Truck Insurance Policy.

It provides coverage for the gap between the actual cash value of your truck and what you still owe your lender.

If you ever find yourself upside down after an accident, this built-in coverage is a great way to get some peace of mind.

When you get your CIS Progressive Trucking Quote, we’ll guide you through everything to make sure you’re fully covered for Financed Value.

Why Do Progressive Truck Quotes Vary?

It all starts with your state’s base premiums, and then a bunch of personal factors come into play, like:

• Insurance Credit Rating: Got a history of late payments or debt? That will definitely drive your premium up.  Credit is King.
• Year and Value of Your Truck: Newer, high-value vehicles cost more to repair or replace, which means higher Physical Damage premiums.
• Driver’s History and Experience: Clean record and an experienced driver? You’ll will likely pay much less…assuming your credit is good.
• Radius of Operation: Unlimited radius? You’ll pay more than someone with a 200 mile radius, but on the flip side some Last Mile Delivery drivers in major cities come in high as well.
• Cargo: Hauling refrigerated freight (REEFER) or high-value goods? That’ll bump up your Motor Truck Cargo Premium.

Why choose Progressive Truck Insurance with Telematics?

• If you’re driving a Commercial Van like a Cargo Van or Sprinter, you should check out Snap Shot ProView. It’s perfect for vehicles that don’t need ELDs. On average, new customers save 10% right off the bat, and some see another 5% to 8% savings at renewal—some even save up to 20% total! If you’re a safe driver who avoids hard starts and stops, this is definitely worth a look. And even if your driving isn’t the smoothest, you still lock in those initial savings for your policy term.
• If you’re driving something big like a tractor that requires Primary Commercial Auto Liability and an ELD that tracks your hours anyway, be sure to include Smart Haul in your Commercial Truck Insurance Progressive quote. If you’re using a preferred ELD vendor, you’ll get at least a 5% discount—and with a solid safety record, you could save up to 20%. Progressive’s partner vendors include Motive (formerly KeepTruckin), Geotab, and Omnitracs, where you’ll likely see the biggest savings. But even if you don’t use one of their preferred vendors, you’ll still get at least a 3% discount just for enrolling in Smart Haul.

What’s the Best Way to Pay for Progressive Truck Insurance?

• Set up your payments on EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) so your monthly premium gets paid automatically. Let’s face it, it’s easy to forget a bill when you’re always on the road. It’s a safer way to pay and you’ll score a 2-5% discount on your Liability and 5-7% on your Physical Damage. It’s a no-brainer, guys!
• Got some extra cash? Take advantage of a Paid In Full Discount and save big—up to 17% on annual policies or 13% on six-month policies.

Just a heads-up: Discounts and features like savings and coverage might vary depending on your state, but no matter what, they’re all great options!
