AUTO LIABILITY
Commercial Auto Liability is the heart of Commercial Truck insurance coverage. This insurance is required for almost every semi truck on the road. Coverage includes bodily injury liability, property damage liability, medical payments, and uninsured motorist coverage. And with truck insurance coverage from Great West, know that our 24/7 claims service helps you get back on the road quickly.

CARGO COVERAGE
Cargo coverage is a motor carrier’s protection from financial loss due to damaged or lost cargo or freight. At Great West, we understand that the types of cargo you transport for your customers don’t always fit into a small, tidy box, so you’ll find we cover many types of cargo that other truck insurance companies exclude.

OWNER-OPERATOR INSURANCE
Owner-Operator insurance is specifically designed to protect owner-run trucking businesses. It includes coverage for your dual responsibilities as both a motor carrier and a driver. Your Great West truck insurance policy is tailored to your risks based on whether you’re operating under lease to a motor carrier or operating under your own authority. We can even fill gaps left by motor carrier insurance by including Cargo coverage, Equipment coverage, and Non-Trucking Use coverage in your policy. And, to make it easy, we offer Choice Coverage® Plus —all the coverage Owner-Operators need, bundled into one complete package.
