If you carry hazardous materials, fuel or oil, your policy may have a fourth category called specialized environmental perils that goes into effect when spills and cleanups occur. When applicable, you can add bobtail and non-trucking liability and trailer interchange coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding the Categories<\/h2>\n<p>Third-party liability is similar to vehicle insurance. If you or one of your drivers causes an accident, coverage applies to bodily injuries and property damage. It pays for victims&#8217; medical bills, rehabilitation, and related costs, as well as legal defense if you are sued.<\/p>\n<p>Coverage for physical damage perils is also similar to a vehicle insurance policy. This section covers collisions with other vehicles or objects, along with comprehensive protection for non-collision mishaps. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Natural disasters and weather<\/li>\n<li>Theft of vandalism<\/li>\n<li>Animal strikes<\/li>\n<li>Engine fires and explosions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cargo and inland periods protect the goods that you transport. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transit losses from overturned vehicles or severe collisions<\/li>\n<li>Cargo stolen from a locked trailer or targeted theft of a vehicle<\/li>\n<li>Temperature failure resulting in spoilage of refrigerated goods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For vehicles and cargo, policies typically pay out actual cash value unless you have specifically negotiated agreed value for specialized equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how to customize a commercial transportation insurance policy with 925 Partners.
