Pennsylvania Commercial Truck Insurance and Requirements

Commercial trucking is an integral part of the transportation industry, helping to move goods and materials across the country. As such, states have created regulations to ensure safe and compliant operation of these vehicles. One such regulation is that commercial trucks in Pennsylvania must be equipped with a certain level of insurance coverage in order to legally operate. Lets go over specific Pennsylvania commercial truck insurance requirements and how you can make sure you’re compliant.

First, we’ll discuss what types of businesses are required to purchase commercial truck insurance. In Pennsylvania, all businesses that use trucks for commercial purposes must have a special commercial truck insurance policy in place. This includes but is not limited to auto transport companies, trucking companies, food delivery services, courier services, taxi services, and even moving companies. Additionally, any vehicles that carry over 15 persons or are used to transport hazardous materials must also have a commercial truck insurance policy. It’s important to note that some non-commercial vehicles may qualify for commercial truck insurance policies as well – for example, tow trucks, pickup trucks with campers or box vans, and recreational vehicles.

Once you’ve determined your business requires a commercial truck insurance policy, the next step is understanding what type of coverage is necessary for your particular business. In Pennsylvania, all commercial trucks must have a minimum of $750,000 in liability protection. This type of coverage can help protect you financially if someone were to injure themselves or damage property while operating one of your trucks. Liability protection may also offer additional protection depending on the nature of your business operations – such as medical payments coverage if you operate a taxi service or cargo coverage if you transport goods.

In addition to liability coverage, there are several other types of coverage you should consider to adequately protect your business and its drivers:

•Physical Damage Coverage – This type of coverage helps to protect your vehicles in the event of an accident. Comprehensive physical damage coverage typically reimburses the cost of repairs after an accident, while collision coverage covers damage caused when two vehicles collide with each other.

•Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage – This coverage protects you in the event that an uninsured driver causes an accident with one of your commercial trucks. It can also help cover any medical expenses if drivers or passengers suffer an injury as the result of such an accident.

•Contingent Liability Coverage – This type of coverage helps to protect you if one of your drivers causes an accident while using someone else’s vehicle for work-related purposes.

•Lost Income Coverage – If one of your drivers is out due to injury or illness sustained as the result of an accident, this type of coverage can help reimburse some portion of their income until they can resume work. (Not available from all companies)

•Non-Trucking Liability Coverage – If you hire either owner-operators or independent contractors who drive their own vehicles while they are working for your business, this type of coverage can help protect you if they get into an accident while actively working for you.

In addition to purchasing the necessary level and types of insurance coverage, it’s important to know that there are additional requirements businesses must comply with when operating commercial trucks in Pennsylvania. These include having a valid U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number, keeping up-to-date records for at least six years, properly licensing and registering all drivers, registering any leased vehicles immediately, conducting background checks on any new drivers hired, and displaying proper permits on all vehicles that require them. Additionally, businesses should make sure their drivers complete the state-mandated hours-of-service log each day as well as perform regular inspections on their vehicles.

Finally, businesses should be aware that failure to comply with these rules may result in significant fines from the state government and law enforcement officers. Depending on the severity of the violation and/or any prior violations on record, fines can range anywhere from $1,000 to $25,000 per offense. Additionally, violation points may be added to individual driver records which can lead to higher insurance premiums or even canceled policies if certain thresholds are exceeded.

In conclusion, there are extensive requirements governing commercial trucking operations in Pennsylvania – both related to insurance and other standards set by state regulators. Adhering to these standards can help protect businesses and their drivers as well as ensure continued legal operations. Be sure to consult with an experienced insurance broker if you have questions about Pennsylvania’s commercial truck insurance requirements to make sure you’re compliant with all applicable laws.
