Classic Truck Insurance

Brokers have a special coverage needs because they are acting as a freight agent for the shipper.  While filings are not needed, brokers are required to register with the FMCSA and supply them with evidence of a $10,000 surety bond.  

​

Classic Truck Insurance have several coverage form options to meet the needs of brokers.  They are:



Auto Liability or Cargo Coverage for Brokerage Concerns-Broadened Contingent Coverage.  The hauling carrier is required to furnish you with a copy of their policy, an additional insured endorsement, or a certificate of insurance; and will respond if:  



• At the time of the covered loss, coverage required by your brokerage agreement is not collectible.
• The limit of insurance payable by this form is reduced by all sums paid by or on behalf of the hauling carrier.

Trucking-Named Broker as Insured (including cargo).  We attach this "additional insured endorsement" to the hauling carrier's policy.  As a carrier you need to have a written brokerage agreement with a hold harmless agreement in place with the broker.  Our endorsement will then provide primary liability and cargo coverage for you and the broker, including contractual liability and a provision for a notice of policy cancellation or reduced limits.
