Short runs still need the right policy.
For Texas trucks that stay within about 100 miles: city delivery, yard-to-yard and day work.
Local trucks are home every night, but they spend the day in traffic, tight docks and customer lots. That is where most small claims happen.
If you never leave Texas you may need a TxDMV number instead of federal authority. Texas requires $500,000 in liability for trucks over 26,000 lb.
Low-speed property damage is the most common local claim. Truckers general liability and a sensible deductible matter here.
Two minutes of details is enough to start. A licensed Texas agent reviews every request, compares the options available from the insurance companies we represent, and explains them in plain language.

No. Personal auto policies exclude hauling for hire. A commercial policy is needed once the truck earns money.
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.
General information for Texas truckers, not legal advice. Minimums and contract requirements change; coverage is subject to policy terms, conditions and underwriting approval.
