What this guide helps you evaluate
Fleet owners comparing insurance programs for commercial trucks and drivers.
Prepared by the PROFENG Editorial & Engineering Team. This page is designed to help you compare the moving parts, organize due diligence and ask better questions before you commit money, sign a contract or change an operating process.
What to compare first
- Auto liability limits and covered autos
- Physical damage deductibles and valuation basis
- Motor truck cargo and non-owned trailer exposures
- Driver eligibility, MVR standards and telematics requirements
- Hired/non-owned auto and umbrella or excess layers
Step-by-step process
- 01
Build a vehicle and driver schedule with garaging, routes and annual mileage.
- 02
Normalize quotes to identical limits and deductibles.
- 03
Separate auto liability, physical damage, cargo and general liability premiums.
- 04
Ask how claims history and safety programs affect renewal pricing.
- 05
Verify certificates, additional insured requirements and contractual limits before binding.
Common mistakes and risk checks
- Comparing total premium when the limits are not equivalent.
- Failing to disclose long-haul routes, commodities or driver changes.
