FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What coverage do local and regional carriers consider?
Commonly commercial auto liability, physical damage, and motor truck cargo, and possibly general liability, workers’ compensation, and hired and non-owned auto.
Do frequent stops increase exposure?
Stop density and varied delivery sites can add exposure that a programme should reflect, even within a predictable radius.
Does my delivery area matter?
Yes. Radius, states, and the environments you deliver in are among the factors underwriters may consider.
Are contract certificates common?
Customers and contracts may require certificates of insurance. The policy can provide the certificate they request.
