Coverage When You Bring the Power, They Bring the Trailer
Power-Only Trucking Insurance
Power-only trucking is a flexible and in-demand segment of the transportation industry. Whether you're contracted by brokers, shippers, or trailer rental companies, you’re hauling freight that isn't your own — which creates unique insurance and liability considerations.
At The Truckers Insurance, we specialize in insuring power-only operators and fleets. We understand the nuances of hauling customer-supplied trailers and help ensure you stay compliant, protected, and ready to roll.
Built for Power-Only Operations
We insure a wide range of power-only businesses, including:
Owner-Operators leased to Motor Carriers
Motor carriers under their own DOT authority
Amazon Relay and drop-and-hook contractors
Trailer pool and intermodal operators
Your policy can include:
Auto Liability – FMCSA-compliant, with high-limit options for large contracts
Non-Owned Trailer Physical Damage – protects you if the trailer you’re hauling is damaged while under your care, custody, or control
Trailer Interchange Coverage – required by many brokers or intermodal providers, this protects you under written interchange agreements
Motor Truck Cargo – for freight inside the trailer, even if the trailer is owned by someone else
General Liability – for job site, drop yard, or third-party property exposure
Non-Truckers Liability (NTL) – protection for off-dispatch use by Owner-Operators leased to Motor Carriers
Bobtail Insurance – covers the truck when traveling without a trailer
