What's Covered
Owner-operators, small fleets, and motor carriers in Hastings face insurance requirements that most standard commercial auto carriers aren't equipped to handle. We work with specialty trucking markets to find coverage that fits your commodity, your routes, and your operation — whether you're running local, regional, or long-haul.
Hastings is the seat of Dakota County at the confluence of the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers. Agricultural transport, contractor operations, and local delivery businesses are well-established in the area.
Covers bodily injury and property damage your vehicles cause to third parties. FMCSA minimums apply for interstate carriers; state minimums for intrastate operations. We make sure your limits are compliant and sufficient.
Covers repair or replacement of your trucks, tractors, and trailers after a collision, rollover, theft, fire, or weather event. Required by lenders on financed equipment.
Covers the freight you're hauling if it's lost, damaged, or stolen while in your care. Required by most freight brokers and shippers. Limits and covered commodities must match what you actually haul.
Covers you when driving your tractor without a trailer and outside the scope of a dispatch — a common coverage gap for owner-operators leased to a carrier.
Covers non-auto incidents at loading docks, warehouses, and customer facilities — situations your commercial auto policy doesn't cover but where you're still exposed.
Provides additional liability limits above your base trucking policy. A single serious accident can exceed primary limits quickly — umbrella coverage is critical for any commercial trucking operation.

Common Questions
If you're hauling freight or operating a vehicle for commercial transportation purposes, you need a trucking-specific commercial auto policy — not a standard commercial auto policy. Trucking policies include cargo coverage, FMCSA filing options, and underwriting tailored to transportation risks.
Minnesota requires commercial auto liability, and for-hire interstate carriers must maintain FMCSA-required primary liability minimums ($750,000 for general freight). Cargo insurance is required by most shippers and brokers. We handle all required filings.
We issue certificates of insurance same day or next day in most cases. Once your policy is bound, you can request certificates anytime via phone, text, or email — (651) 243-0056.
Premiums depend on your commodity, operating radius, number of trucks, driver records, and loss history. We shop specialty trucking markets to find your most competitive rate. Call (651) 243-0056 or fill out the form above for a quote.
