Trucking and commercial truck insurance in Texas
Gatson Life & Financial Group can review trucking and commercial truck coverage for Texas owner-operators, small fleets, and related commercial auto. We serve Dallas–Fort Worth and statewide. Placement and filings vary by carrier and operating authority.
Who we can review
Trucking insurance is a specialized market. We can look at owner-operators, small fleets, and businesses that use heavy or light commercial vehicles to haul their own goods or work equipment. The right structure depends on how you operate, where you run, what you haul, and your authority and filings.
Not every operation can be placed, and we will not claim otherwise. Radius, commodity, driving records, equipment, and loss history all affect whether a carrier will offer a quote. If we cannot help with a particular risk, we will say so.
Coverages often discussed
A trucking conversation is usually more than a single liability number. Which of these apply — and whether a market will write them — depends on the carrier and your operating authority.
- Primary auto liability for the power unit and, when needed, trailers.
- Physical damage for the truck or trailer you own or finance.
- Motor truck cargo for goods you haul, when that coverage is appropriate and available.
- General liability for operations off the vehicle, when a carrier offers it alongside the auto policy or as a separate line.
- Non-trucking liability or bobtail coverage, when a driver operates a power unit away from dispatch. Terms vary widely.
- Certificates and, where applicable, regulatory filings. We do not claim same-day filings; timing depends on the carrier and the request.
Dallas–Fort Worth and statewide Texas service
We serve trucking and commercial auto accounts in Dallas–Fort Worth and across Texas. If you run beyond Texas, tell us where you operate so we can see which licensed states and markets may apply. We are also licensed in Ohio, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Louisiana. Availability still varies.
Interstate operations, hazardous materials, and certain commodities can change the market list quickly. Those details belong in the first conversation, not after a quote is already in motion.
It also helps to be ready to talk about owner-operator versus company-driver arrangements, whether you haul under your own authority or someone else's, and whether trailers are owned, leased, or pooled. Those facts change the application. We will ask only for what we need to see which markets, if any, may be open.
What we need for a quote
Useful items include your authority or DOT and MC numbers if you have them, a list of power units and trailers, driver information, commodities and radius, cargo limits if you need them, current coverage, and loss history. Owner-operators and fleets may be asked for different supporting documents.
Request a review through our contact form, call (866) 486-9959, or text (903) 348-0913. There is no obligation to buy, and coverage, eligibility, and price vary by carrier.
Dallas–Fort Worth is a major freight hub, and many Texas trucking conversations involve interstate lanes as well as local work. Tell us the lanes you actually run. A quote that assumes the wrong radius or commodity is not a useful quote. Coverage, eligibility, limits, and price still vary by carrier and by your operating authority.
Texas trucking insurance FAQ
Do you insure owner-operators and small fleets?+
We can review both, along with related commercial auto. Whether a carrier will offer terms depends on equipment, drivers, commodities, radius, and loss history.
Can you handle filings and certificates?+
We can discuss certificates and filings that a policy and carrier support. Timing varies, and we do not promise same-day filings.
Is cargo coverage included automatically?+
No. Motor truck cargo is usually a separate coverage, and not every policy or carrier includes it. Tell us what you haul and what limits a shipper or broker is asking for.
Do you only write Texas-only trucks?+
We serve Texas, including Dallas–Fort Worth, and can talk through operations that leave the state. Licensing and available markets vary by state and carrier.
