Why is Dump Truck Insurance so Expensive?
Dump truck insurance is a special type of coverage for companies that haul loose materials like sand, gravel, rock, dirt, or asphalt.
Sounds simple enough, so why is the insurance for dump trucks 10% to 25% higher than for other trucking like dry vans or flatbeds?
Dump trucks frequently work in high-risk construction zones so they have a greater chance of severe injury claims.
They also spend more time on local roads versus highways, which increases their exposure to accidents.
What Affects YOUR Dump Truck Insurance Premium?
Ever wonder why your buddy pays a different price for his dump truck insurance than you do?
It’s not random.
Insurance companies look at a bunch of different factors to figure out your specific rate.
Here’s what they consider:
- Your insurance credit score
- Your driving record
- The state you live in and where you park your dump truck
- The value of your dump truck
- What kind of materials you typically haul
- Your average driving distance
- How long you’ve been operating that type of dump truck
With all these factors and each provider’s unique algorithm at play, premiums can and are all over the map.
What Kind of Coverage does Progressive & GEICO Have for Dump Trucks?
Progressive and GEICO both offer Commercial Auto Liability and General Liability for dump trucks.
While you can get a minimum of $750,000 in Auto Liability, most companies you haul for will ask for $1 million.
That’s pretty much the industry standard, along with $1 million in General Liability.
Both companies also provide Additional Insured and Waiver of Subrogation endorsements.
Your Physical Damage, or Comp and Collision are based on the Stated Value of your truck.
If you need Cargo Coverage they’ve got that too.
