Connecticut Trucking Insurance
Insurance Built for the Road Ahead
Running a trucking business comes with unique challenges. Whether you’re an owner-operator, operate a small fleet, or manage a larger transportation company, your livelihood depends on keeping your trucks moving and your cargo delivered safely.
At CT Insurance Exchange, we understand that trucking is more than just transportation—it’s a business with complex risks, tight schedules, regulatory requirements, and valuable equipment on the road every day. That’s why we work closely with trucking companies throughout Connecticut to create insurance programs designed around their specific operations.
Protection for Owner-Operators and Trucking Companies
Every trucking business is different. The risks faced by a local delivery company may be very different from those of a long-haul trucking operation. Before recommending coverage, we take the time to learn about:
- The type of cargo you haul
- The radius and territory you travel
- The size of your fleet
- Drivers and hiring practices
- Owned, leased, or rented equipment
- Contract requirements
- Your business goals and budget
Once we understand your operation, we compare options from multiple insurance companies to help find the right balance of protection, service, and cost.
Trucking Insurance Coverages We Review
Commercial Auto Liability
Provides protection if your truck or driver causes bodily injury or property damage to others in a covered accident. This coverage is often the foundation of a trucking insurance program.
Physical Damage Coverage
Helps pay for repairs or replacement if a covered truck is damaged by a collision, theft, vandalism, fire, or other covered loss.
Motor Truck Cargo Coverage
Protects the cargo you transport from covered losses while in transit, helping safeguard both your business and your customer relationships.
General Liability Coverage
Provides protection against many common business-related liability claims that may arise outside of operating a vehicle
Workers’ Compensation
If you have employees, workers’ compensation helps cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits related to work-related injuries.
Trailer Interchange and Non-Owned Trailer Coverage
Important protection for trucking operations that haul trailers owned by others or participate in trailer interchange agreements.
Umbrella Liability Coverage
Provides an additional layer of protection above your primary liability limits, helping protect your business from catastrophic claims.

- Non-trucking liability coverage
- Occupational accident coverage
