Commercial Auto Insurance

Commercial auto is the foundation of work-truck and fleet coverage. It protects your vehicles, drivers, and your business against liability from at-fault accidents on the road.

Commercial Auto for Work Trucks & Fleets

Your trucks are on the road every day — driving to job sites, hauling tools and materials, and representing your business. Commercial auto insurance covers the liability and physical risk that comes with operating work vehicles for business. A personal auto policy will not respond to a business-use accident, and using one is a coverage gap that can sink a company after a serious loss.

What Commercial Auto Covers

  • Liability: At-fault accidents causing injury or property damage to others
  • Medical payments / PIP: Injuries to you and your occupants
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist: Protection when the at-fault driver lacks coverage
  • Fleet coverage: Multiple trucks and drivers on one coordinated policy
  • Hired & non-owned options: Extends to rented and employee-owned vehicles (see HNOA)

Why Personal Auto Isn't Enough

Personal auto policies exclude regular business use, hauling for hire, and vehicles titled to a company. When a work truck is in an at-fault accident, a personal policy can deny the claim — leaving the business exposed to the full cost. Commercial auto is built for exactly this exposure.

What Drives Your Premium

  • Driver records: MVRs are a major rating factor; clean records lower cost
  • Radius of operation: Local, intermediate, or long-haul changes the risk profile
  • Vehicle type and weight: Light service trucks rate differently than heavy box trucks
  • Use and cargo: What you haul and how far affects pricing

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just use personal auto for my work truck?

No. Personal auto excludes regular business use and company-titled vehicles, and can deny a claim after a business-use accident. Work trucks need commercial auto.

How is my commercial auto premium calculated?

Primarily by driver records (MVRs), radius of operation, vehicle type and weight, and what you haul. Clean driving records and a defined operating radius help keep premiums down.
