Florida Truck Insurance

Florida combines busy ports, year-round construction and plenty of produce, but high claim costs make it one of the tougher states to insure. Shopping several carriers matters more here than almost anywhere.

Florida metro areas we insure

Common Florida operations we place

Owner-operators and small fleets hauling produce, construction materials, port freight and car hauling, plus contractors and delivery companies running work trucks and vans.

Coverage for Florida trucks

  • Semi Truck insurance: owner-operators and small fleets running tractors, trailers and reefers under their own authority.
  • Box Truck insurance: straight trucks for local delivery, final-mile, moving and Amazon-style routes.
  • Hot Shot insurance: one-ton pickups with goosenecks and flatbeds hauling time-sensitive loads.
  • Commercial Auto insurance: pickups, vans, dump trucks, tow trucks and work vehicles for contractors and local businesses.

Florida insurance requirements

Interstate for-hire carriers need a USDOT number, MC authority and a federal liability filing (BMC-91X), with a $750,000 minimum for general freight. Most brokers and shippers ask for $1,000,000 liability and $100,000 cargo. Intrastate rules vary, so confirm current requirements with the FMCSA and Florida's transportation department.
