Expediters have established an industry standard for insurance limits and operate on an Unlimited Radius. Brokers usually require Expedite Independent Contractors to carry these limits of insurance coverage to bid on load boards:
Primary Commercial Auto Liability | $1,000,000 CSL |
Cargo | $100,000 |
Last Mile Delivery Independent Contractors operate closer to home. Their insurance requirements differ depending on their contracts.
For example, their Primary Commercial Auto Liability limit requirement may be $300,000 instead of $1,000,000. Frequently their Cargo limits are lower as well.
However, the additional insurance coverage General Liability is often required to bid on Last Mile Delivery Loadboards.

When Independent Contractors Lease On to a bigger Motor Carrier their insurance is different.
Because the Independent Contractor is operating under the Motor Carrier’s DOT Authority, the Motor Carrier provides the Primary Commercial Auto Liability. Per contract, the Owner Operator is still responsible for providing Non-Trucking Liability which means he’s insuring himself while not operating on behalf of the Motor Carrier.
Primary Commercial Auto Liability costs much more because it insures 24/7.
Non-Trucking Liability costs much less because it’s only part time coverage.
Non-Trucking Liability can be tricky. If you plan to lease on to a Motor Carrier learn more here about NTL:

Jorge RuizAugust 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am BEYOND HAPPY with the services provided by the wonderful staff at CIS. One month prior to my FL policy expiring, I started researching companies because despite having a clean CDL and driving record, my renewal increase was significant, to the point that I was considering moving operations to a cheaper state. Before taking that drastic step, I decided to do my research and look for a reputable insurance agent online. I googled a bunch of agents, but was most impressed with the CIS customer reviews. I called the office, spoke with Rachel and by the end of the conversation, I was 100% certain that I was in good hands. Long story short and without hesitation, I purchased my policy from CIS and it was much more affordable than I expected. So, if you are searching for affordable commercial truck insurance and insurance agents that offer excellent customer service, look no further than CIS.

Richard FloresJune 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review deserves a 10 star review. Commercial Insurance Solutions Inc is a company with superior customer service. Rachel Martin assisted me in my new venture for Freight delivery. I had spoken to a total of 14 Agents across the Country and had a hard time with 12 Agents who are accustomed to slinging quotes across the board. These agents didn't assist by offering suggestions whatsoever, they simply sat there allowing me to make requests of what I needed, since I am fairly new to Commercial Insurance they could have helped with suggestions since they are supposed to be knowledgeable. When they heard the term "Gig App" delivery most of them ended the call and were rude. I came upon Rachel who is not only knowledgeable, but an EXPERT Par excellence. Rachel has answers, she had expertise in what I was trying to accomplish and SAVED me money, brought my quote and insurance down super low for what I was looking for, she even called and kept me in the loop on her progress while working to get this done. When other Agents gave the impression they were doing me a favor by talking to me it felt very unpleasant. I have a Commercial Insurance Company who actually cares about me and my business and Commercial Insurance Solutions Inc cares about my success. THANK YOU to the team at CIS and Rachel Martin, my go-to company!!! <3 Jim RorexMay 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
