Operating a trucking business in New Jersey means navigating more than just highways — it means managing risk at every mile. From traffic congestion to tight delivery schedules, your fleet faces challenges that demand strong protection. That’s where trucking insurance from MPL Risk comes in. We help NJ fleet owners secure the right blend of coverage for vehicles, drivers, and cargo.
Why New Jersey Trucking Needs Specialized Insurance
New Jersey’s dense roadways and ports make it one of the most active logistics corridors in the country — and one of the riskiest. Accidents, theft, and cargo damage happen more often here than in rural regions. Federal and state laws also require higher liability limits for commercial trucks, meaning your policy must align with both DOT and FMCSA regulations.
Trucking insurance in NJ protects your business from financial losses caused by:
-
Collisions or rollovers
-
Cargo theft or damage
-
Third-party bodily injury or property damage
-
Mechanical failure or breakdown
-
Weather-related incidents
Core Coverages for Trucking Fleets
A complete trucking insurance policy generally includes:
-
Commercial Auto Coverage: Covers liability and damage to your trucks.
-
Motor Truck Cargo Insurance: Protects the freight you haul against loss or damage.
-
Physical Damage Coverage: Pays to repair or replace your vehicles after an accident or covered peril.
-
General Liability: Handles claims from operations outside the truck, such as loading or unloading.
-
Trailer Interchange Coverage: Protects non-owned trailers under interchange agreements.
-
Workers Compensation: Required for drivers and dispatch staff to cover workplace injuries.
Managing Risk for Lower Premiums
Insurance carriers look closely at your safety record, driver history, maintenance logs, and claims performance. Here’s how to control costs:
-
Implement driver training and monitor MVRs.
-
Schedule regular fleet maintenance to avoid breakdowns.
-
Secure trucks and cargo yards to reduce theft risk.
-
Keep detailed incident logs and telematics reports.
-
Review your coverage annually as routes or equipment change.
