Most of a trucking premium is built from facts a carrier can document, and a few of those sit within your control.
- Driver selection carries the most weight. Motor vehicle records, CDL experience, and how long each driver has been with you all feed the rate.
- Loss history follows, and severity counts for more than frequency here, because one heavy-vehicle accident can produce a large liability claim.
- Keeping your radius, commodity description, and filings accurate matters as well. A mismatch found at audit or at claim time can cost more than any premium difference.
Other factors in premium include what you’re hauling, driving radius, time in business, number of trucks, type of trucks, tickets and accidents, and each driver’s history and experience. We can quote it with several carriers and compare how the coverage is structured, not only what it costs.
