Physical Damage Insurance

We help you get and keep your lowest physical damage premium with an accurate stated amount on your truck.

Truckers need Physical Damage Insurance to cover their own vehicle.

If you are at fault in hitting another vehicle, object or rollover, your Collision Coverage pays for the damage to your own truck

Physical Damage also includes comprehensive coverage, which covers anything else that could happen to your truck including:

  • Fire
  • Theft
  • Vandalism
  • Animal hit
  • Windshields
  • and more…

Think About It...

In the same example we used for your Liability Coverage and Motor Truck Cargo Coverage, here’s how Physical Damage protects you.

You're in the right hand lane driving on heavy traffic when a speeding car weaves in front of you and out again to pass the slow car in the left lane.

The driver of the slow car panics and pulls into your lane, causing your front left bumper to spin him out of control back into his lane with other oncoming traffic.

Because this accident example was deemed everyone’s fault, Physical Damage pays for the damage to your truck. In this case, it falls under Collision.

Physical Damage coverage also pays for the debris removal and pollution cleanup.

Some insurance companies offer Financed Value Coverage, which will pay off the value of your loan up to your Stated Amount.  This situation is not uncommon for Expediters with modified Straight Truck insurance.  We can help you structure this request.

 Yes, it sure is…especially when used vehicles are in short supply.  Here’s an example of how your truck could be underinsured in a fluctuating market.
