New Jersey Commercial Truck Insurance and Requirements
The trucking business is a crucial part of the nation’s transportation infrastructure, and the state of New Jersey is no exception. With a bustling port system along the Delaware River, New Jersey is home to many small and large trucking businesses that ensure goods are transported to their destinations quickly and efficiently. As such, commercial truck insurance is an essential part of any trucking business in the state, as it helps ensure that drivers are protected in case of any accidents or damage.
Lets explore the ins and outs of commercial truck insurance in New Jersey, from required coverage to additional ways to protect your business. By the end, you should have an understanding of New Jersey commercial truck insurance requirements and why they’re important.
What Is Commercial Truck Insurance?
Commercial truck insurance is an insurance policy specifically designed to cover trucks and other large commercial vehicles. It’s important to note that while many smaller businesses may operate one or more commercial vehicles, most states require specialized coverage for any vehicle used for business purposes.
Typically, commercial truck insurance policies cover both liability and physical damage. Liability coverage helps cover costs associated with damage or injury caused by a business’s vehicle, such as repairs for another vehicle damaged in an accident. Physical damage coverage helps cover repair costs for a business’s own vehicles in the event of an accident or other type of damage.
New Jersey Commercial Truck Insurance Requirements
The state of New Jersey has specific requirements for commercial truck insurance coverage, which are outlined below:
1. Bodily Injury Liability: This coverage pays for medical expenses and other costs associated with injuries suffered by other individuals in an accident caused by a business’s vehicle. The state requires minimum limits of $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident for this coverage.
2. Property Damage Liability: This coverage pays for property damage caused by a business’s vehicle in an accident. The state requires a minimum limit of $5,000 for this coverage.
3. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist: This coverage pays for damages caused by an uninsured motorist or one who doesn’t have enough insurance to cover all of the costs associated with an accident. The state requires a minimum limit of $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident for this coverage.
4. Comprehensive Coverage: This coverage pays for non-accident-related damage to a business’s vehicle, such as vandalism or theft. The state does not impose any minimum requirement for this coverage.
5. Collision Coverage: This coverage pays for repairs to a business’s vehicle caused by an auto collision with another vehicle or object. The state does not impose any minimum requirement for this coverage.
6. Cargo Coverage: This coverage pays for losses due to theft or damage to cargo being transported by a commercial vehicle. The state does not impose any minimum requirement for this coverage; however, some carriers may impose their own minimum requirement at their discretion.
7. Non-Trucking Liability: This coverage is required if a business’s vehicles are operated without a trailer or when they’re being used statewide and not just within New Jersey’s borders. It covers liability when a vehicle is being used outside of its primary hauling tasks (e.g., personal errands). The state requires a minimum limit of $750,000 for this coverage.
Additional Coverage Options that may be available
In addition to the required coverages listed above, there are several other types of coverage that businesses can choose to add on to their commercial truck insurance policies, including:
1. Medical Payments Coverage: This coverage helps pay medical expenses for drivers or passengers who are injured in an accident involving a business’s vehicle regardless of fault.
2. Hired and Non-Owned Vehicle Insurance: This covers liability for vehicles that are rented in the course of business operations or that are owned by someone else but being used for business purposes (e.g., cars borrowed from an employee).
3. Drop Trailer Coverage: This coverage covers liability for any trailers not attached to the power unit (vehicle) at the time of an accident—typically because they were dropped off at their destinations before returning home with the power unit empty.
4. Electronic Data Processing Equipment Insurance: This covers any losses incurred due to electronic equipment (e.g., mobile communication devices) being damaged or stolen from a business’s vehicles.
In addition to these optional coverages, businesses may also want to consider adding an endorsement that changes their policy limits based on their daily route changes (i.e., varying limits depending on whether their vehicles are traveling through different states). This type of endorsement can help ensure that they won’t be underinsured no matter where their vehicles are traveling.

Commercial truck insurance is an essential element of any trucking business in New Jersey, as it helps keep drivers and cargo safe on the roads and provides financial protection in case of any accidents or damage that may occur during operations or deliveries. The state requires specific coverages and minimum limits, which businesses must adhere to in order to legally operate their vehicles within the state’s borders. Additionally, there are several optional coverages and endorsements that businesses may want to consider adding on in order to provide additional protection for their vehicles and cargo while out on the roadways.
Below are the classifications of commercial big rig trucking policies.
• Symbol 1 – Any auto, don’t have to schedule them. Covers any auto as long

Form you attach when the state requires and insured can not reject uninsured
motorist coverage. It includes autos you acquire during the policy period after
