Trucking Insurance for Owner-Operators & Fleets – Fortress 360
Your trucks are more than equipment—they’re your business. Every mile on the road brings risk: accidents, cargo damage, breakdowns, lawsuits, and downtime that can wipe out your profits.
At Fortress 360, we specialize in trucking insurance for owner-operators and fleets across the United States. We help you protect your trucks, drivers, and cargo with coverage built specifically for trucking—not generic commercial auto.
Why Choose Fortress 360 for Your Trucking Insurance
Trucking is different. Contracts, brokers, shippers, and lenders all have specific insurance requirements. One gap or missing endorsement can cost you a load or deny a claim.
A team focused on trucking insurance, not every line of insurance.
Access to multiple trucking-focused carriers.
Help with filings, certificates of insurance (COIs), and compliance.
Guidance on limits and coverages so you don’t end up underinsured.
Fast trucking insurance quotes and responsive support when you need documents now.
We speak trucking. You won’t have to explain the basics of your operation every time you call.
Trucking Insurance Coverages We Offer
We build your trucking insurance program around how you actually run your business—equipment, routes, cargo, and contracts. Common coverages include:
Primary Auto Liability
Required for most motor carriers, primary liability covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while operating your truck. We help set limits that satisfy FMCSA, brokers, and lenders.
Physical Damage (Comp & Collision)
Covers your tractor and trailer against accidents, theft, vandalism, fire, and certain weather events. We help you choose realistic values so you’re not overpaying or left short after a loss.
Motor Truck Cargo
Protects the cargo you haul when it’s damaged or lost due to a covered cause of loss (such as collision, fire, or theft). We match your trucking insurance cargo limits and endorsements to your shippers’ and brokers’ requirements.
Bobtail / Non-Trucking Liability
Covers your truck when it’s being used for non-dispatch or personal use, depending on your lease agreement and how your operation is structured.
General Liability for Trucking Operations
Helps protect your business from certain third-party claims that happen off the road—at your yard, terminal, office, or job site.
Additional Coverages
Depending on your needs, your trucking insurance program can also include:

Trucking Insurance FAQs
Pricing depends on your equipment, radius, routes, cargo, driver history, years in business, and claims. New ventures usually pay more at first, but a strong safety record and clean reports can help improve rates over time.
Yes. Fortress 360 works with carriers that write trucking insurance for local, regional, and long-haul operations across multiple states.
If you’re hauling freight for others, cargo coverage is usually required by brokers and shippers. Even when it’s not required, it protects you from paying out-of-pocket if the load is damaged or lost.
It helps to have your driver list, vehicle list, loss runs (if you’ve had prior insurance), and your current policy. If you’re new, we can start with your CDL history and business details.
