Motor truck cargo
Motor truck cargo insurance may protect eligible customer property while it is being transported, subject to policy terms and exclusions.

Physical damage coverage may protect scheduled tractors, trucks and trailers against covered losses, subject to stated values and deductibles.

Frequently asked questions
Can a newly established trucking company in Florida apply?
New ventures may be considered, subject to drivers, equipment, cargo, radius, documentation and insurer guidelines.
Are loss runs always required?
No. Some programs may not require loss runs, but requirements depend on the operation, insurer and underwriting review.
Does the online process provide a final quote?
No. It may provide a preliminary rate indication. Final terms require underwriting review and may require safety information, reports, documents, payment and insurer approval.
Can fleets operating in other states apply?
Interstate operations may be considered. All operating states, routes, radius and required filings should be disclosed accurately.
Planning coverage for Florida delivery and refrigerated freight
A Florida operation delivering within Miami, hauling refrigerated freight from Central Florida or making regional trips from Jacksonville needs a clear account of cargo, territory and equipment. Share seasonal changes and occasional loads as well as the usual work.
- Temperature-sensitive freight: Identify produce, flowers or other commodities separately, together with temperature instructions, maximum values and refrigeration maintenance records.
- Storm preparation: Explain where vehicles and loaded trailers are parked, how they are moved when severe weather threatens and who monitors them. Ask about relevant deductibles and exclusions rather than assuming every weather-related loss is insured.
- Final-mile deliveries: Describe loading and unloading, helpers, liftgates and customer premises. Bring delivery contracts so responsibilities can be reviewed.
Prepare registration and insurance information together
Keep the vehicle weights, registration details, operating states and requested effective date available. Florida publishes its IRP applicant checklist for applicable apportioned-registration applications. Registration documents do not replace an insurance coverage review.
What details matter for a Florida refrigerated-freight review?
Provide the actual commodities, maximum load value, temperature requirements, trip duration and refrigeration-unit maintenance information. Ask which temperature-related causes of loss and exclusions apply; refrigerated cargo is not automatically covered for every spoilage event.
