Risk Management & Insurance Protection for Commercial Trucking & Fleets
Commercial trucking and freight logistics represent the physical lifeblood of the Canadian economy. Operating heavy transport vehicles across municipal, provincial, and national borders exposes trucking businesses to severe structural risks, including massive multi-vehicle collision liabilities on winter highways, cargo damage, fuel spill contamination, and trailer theft. QuoteMatch connects long-haul owner-operators and local fleet managers with specialized Canadian commercial transportation underwriters.

Commercial Trucking & Fleets Insurance FAQs
- What is Cargo Insurance and why is it separate?
- Commercial Auto covers the physical truck and liability for accidents. Cargo Insurance is a separate, critical policy that covers the actual value of the goods you are hauling from the moment they are loaded until delivery.
- What is 'Non-Owned Trailer' coverage (OEF 27 / 94)?
- This covers physical damage to trailers you pull but do not own (e.g., hauling shipping containers or partner logistics trailers), ensuring you are not personally billed for trailer fleet damages.
- Does my trucking policy cover hauling goods into the US?
- Most standard Canadian policies restrict travel to Canada. If your routes cross the US border, you must secure a 'US Radius' endorsement and register with federal US DOT/FMCSA authorities.
