PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE

Comprehensive protection for your truck and trailer against physical damage, theft, vandalism, and collision. Our physical damage coverage ensures your valuable equipment is protected in any situation.

What is Physical Damage Coverage?

Physical Damage coverage protects your truck and trailer from various types of damage and loss. This coverage is broken into two main components: Comprehensive and Collision. While not federally required, physical damage coverage is essential for protecting your valuable equipment investment.

Types of Physical Damage Coverage

Two essential coverage types that work together to provide complete protection for your equipment

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision incidents, including theft, vandalism, fire, natural disasters, falling objects, and animal collisions.

Theft and Vandalism Protection
Fire and Natural Disaster Coverage
Falling Objects and Animal Collisions
Glass Breakage Coverage
Weather-Related Damage

Collision Coverage

Covers damage to your vehicle resulting from collisions with other vehicles, objects, or from your vehicle overturning, regardless of who is at fault.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Collisions
Object Collision Protection
Rollover Accident Coverage
Single Vehicle Accidents
At-Fault and Not-At-Fault Coverage

Coverages Under Physical Damage

TOWING & STORAGE

Covers the towing and storage of the units listed on the policy.

Ranges from $5,000 - Unlimited
Limits can be applied per unit or per occurrence

TRAILER INTERCHANGE

Under the trailer interchange agreement, it covers damages to a non-owned trailer, and a trailer even if not attached to a listed power unit.

Mostly geared to collision-based damages
Coverage requires stated amount and deductible

NON-OWNED TRAILER COVERAGE

Covers damages done to a non-owned trailer. It can not be owned by the insured, and the coverage follows the power unit listed on the policy. The trailer must be attached at the time of the loss.

No documentation required
Requires stated amount and deductible

LOSS PAYEE

This is also known as 'Lien-holder'.

Is unit specific and is free of charge
Lists the third party on the policy as beneficiary
Requires company's name and physical address to list

Physical Damage Co-Insurance Clause

In most cases, the co-insured clause states that your equipment must be insured up to 80% of actual cash value (ACV) at the time of the loss. If it is not, you could be penalized and need to pay out additional monies to have the claim honored. Also, you should be aware that some Physical Damage policies contain low Towing and Cleanup limits, such as $5,000 or $10,000. Conversely, if you do not carry Physical Damage coverage you may not have any towing and cleanup expenses paid for. You will also need to choose a deductible (the amount you agree to pay out of pocket when you have a claim). Choosing a higher deductible lowers your insurance premiums, but costs you more out of pocket for the claim.
