Frequently Asked Questions
Is dump truck insurance more expensive than regular trucking?
Dump truck insurance can be more expensive due to the higher risk of job-site accidents and the specialized nature of operations. Expect $10,000-$18,000 per year depending on radius, cargo, and experience.
Do I need general liability in addition to auto liability?
Yes. Auto liability covers accidents involving your truck on the road. General liability covers property damage or injuries at job sites, which is where dump trucks spend a lot of their time.
What about coverage when hauling for a municipality?
Municipal contracts often require higher liability limits and additional insured endorsements. We can structure policies to meet these requirements so you qualify for government work.
