FAQs

If your questions are not answered below, you can contact one of our Commercial Trucking Insurance Specialists and we are happy to help with anything you may need.

Whether you are new to For-Hire trucking or if you have been in business for some time insurance is one of the largest expenses you may have. There are many factors that impact the price of insurance and every insurance company is different in how they assess and price the risk. Based on our experience in 28 states a good range might be $12,000 to $20,000 per truck for a 12 month For-Hire policy, but could be more or less depending on many factors. Some factors include but are not limited to your age, driver history of accidents and moving violations for past three years, years CDL experience, radius of your operation, cargo being hauled, If the owner is a driver, state of domicile, coverage limits, years in business, age and value of equipment. Some insurance companies also pull credit to determine policy premiums. Also, If you are under 25 years of age you will be considered high risk and pay higher premiums. 

There are only a couple commercial truck insurance companies that will insure you with less than 2 years of CDL experience. And your age and credit history will also play a part in your insurance premium. Reach out to us at CNS Insurance and we are happy to explore your options.   

Yes, however, not all insurance companies will insure a new trucking company where the owner is not the driver (owner operator). Premiums are generally higher for these non-CDL owned trucking ventures. Reach out to CNS Insurance and we can look more closely at your options.
