As a transport business owner, you need to carry insurance if the cargo, truck, or equipment is damaged or stolen and liability insurance to cover the costs of your actions cause any damage. There are many different trucking insurance policies to choose from, depending on your circumstances. For instance, the policy you choose may depend if your shipping company transports goods by land, air, or water. These days, with internet marketing, many companies require international shipping to deliver goods to their clients from other countries. Therefore you may need a specialized cover depending if you transport cargo nationally or internationally.
If your company is based in Evergreen Park, IL Martin Insurance Team can help you choose the comprehensive policy to ensure you are sufficiently covered for any eventuality. When choosing your policy, consider the risks it covers. At the very least, a policy should cover you for any damages suffered through a collision. If your truck, full of cargo that belongs to other people, is involved in an accident, a policy will need to cover that cargo’s replacement costs. Additionally, the policy will need to cover the costs for the damages caused to your truck. What if your truck has been totaled in the collision? Your insurance will cover the cost of buying a new truck. You may also need the liability coverage needed for the costs of medical expenses to your driver or others involved in the collision.

To ensure that you and your cargo are protected, let Martin Insurance Team assess your business’s needs and help you choose the perfect cover so that you can concentrate on running your business safely.
