Secure Your Assets with William & Chase LLC Insurance

As an independent driver leased to a motor carrier, your owner operator truck insurance coverage needs are mainly determined by the lease agreement you have with your motor carrier. In most cases, a motor carrier provides Primary Liability insurance coverage when you are working on their behalf. Liability insurance covers injuries or damage to other people or property if you’re at fault for an accident.

 You spend a lot of money on your trucking business, so you want to be sure it’s protected. After all, your truck is your livelihood – that’s why motor carrier insurance designed specifically for for-hire truckers is so important. Choosing the right motor carrier coverage is the best way to protect your investment and your business.

Truck insurance from one of Horizon Insurance Services partners will not only protect your business and provide the coverage you need, it offers you some of the best rates in the industry.

To operate under your own authority, motor carriers must often meet various financial responsibility regulations based on the weight of vehicles operated and commodities hauled.

Williams & Chases LLC makes it easy to obtain motor carrier filings for your required levels of financial responsibility. From the Form E to MCS-90 filing, Horizon Insurance can help. Once you obtain your motor carrier authority, we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll even file all of the paperwork for you.

• Form E: Confirms that your commercial auto insurance meets state guidelines.
• Form F: Policy endorsement that customizes your coverage to meet financial guidelines in your state.
• Form H: Declares that you have sufficient cargo liability insurance.
• Form K: Cancels a previous state insurance filing.
  
• MCS–90 endorsement. An endorsement that must be attached to the auto liability policy of certain regulated motor carriers to ensure that federally mandated coverage (e.g., required liability limits and environmental restitution coverage) is in place.
• BMC–91 filing. A document submitted to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The BMC–91 filing guarantees the FMCSA that you have enough Liability insurance to cover the increased risk of transporting goods or people across state lines.

Liability insurance – This mandatory insurance coverage pays for damages that you cause to other people and their property. Liability insurance coverage includes Bodily Injury Liability insurance and Property Damage Liability coverage.

Physical Damage – Can pay for repairs to your truck if it’s damaged in an accident, whether it’s caused by a collision with another vehicle or a falling tree branch and can include Collision insurance, or Comprehensive insurance.

Personal Injury Protection – insurance may be required by state. PIP Insurance pays for your personal medical expenses or for injuries sustained by your passengers – no matter who is at fault for the accident. States requiring PIP insurance are known as “no fault” accident states. This means that damages for injuries are paid for by a person’s own insurance regardless of who is at fault for the accident or whether or not the other person involved in the accident has commercial auto insurance coverage.
