What's different

Insuring Leased-On Owner-Operators

Your motor carrier's liability policy covers you under dispatch. It does not cover your truck, your injuries, or the drive home.

Off-dispatch gap

Non-trucking liability fills in when you drive the tractor for personal use. Read your lease to see which form the carrier requires.

Your truck is your problem

The motor carrier's policy will not fix your tractor. Physical damage is on you and your lender will ask for it.

Coverages to ask about
  • Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail)Liability when a leased-on truck is driven off dispatch, for personal use.
  • Physical DamageCollision and comprehensive on your own truck and trailer, at a stated value.
  • Occupational AccidentMedical and disability benefits for owner-operators and contract drivers who are not on workers' comp.
  • Rental & DowntimeHelps pay for a rental unit or lost income while your truck is in the shop after a covered loss.

Questions

Leased-On Owner-Operators: Insurance FAQ

Is bobtail the same as non-trucking liability?

Not exactly. Non-trucking liability covers personal use off dispatch. Bobtail covers driving without a trailer, whether or not you are under dispatch. Your lease tells you which one you need.

Do I need my own cargo insurance?

Usually not while leased on, since the motor carrier's cargo policy covers the load. Check the lease for any deductible charged back to you.

How do I get a quote?

Fill in the form on this page or call (361) 336-0409. A licensed Texas agent reviews every request and tells you plainly what is available for your operation. Nothing is covered until an insurance company issues a policy.
