How much does commercial truck insurance cost?
Commercial truck insurance commonly runs between roughly $9,000 and $18,000 per power unit per year. Your actual premium depends on coverage limits, driving and safety records, equipment value, operating radius, cargo type, and years in business. Marquee shops 30+ A-rated carriers to find your most competitive rate — see our cost guide for a full breakdown.
What types of insurance does a trucking company need?
Every motor carrier needs commercial auto liability to meet federal filing requirements. Most operations also carry physical damage for the tractor and trailer and motor truck cargo for the freight they haul. Depending on your setup, you may add workers' compensation or occupational accident, plus coverages like non-trucking liability and trailer interchange. See all coverages.
Do I need a USDOT number to get a quote?
No — you can start a quote without one. But having your USDOT or MC number lets us pull your safety and operating history and return a faster, more accurate quote. If you're a new venture, we can quote new-authority operations too.
How fast can I get a trucking insurance quote?
Most quotes come back the same business day. Because we work with 30+ carriers, we compare multiple markets at once instead of sending you to a single insurer. Binding coverage then depends on underwriting and the documents your carrier requires.
Does Marquee Insurance Group write in my state?
Marquee provides coverage nationwide across the large majority of U.S. states. A handful of states fall outside our current footprint, so the fastest way to confirm is to start a quote or call a specialist — we'll tell you right away whether we can write your operation.
What is the Highway Certified Insurance Agency network?
Highway is a carrier-identity and fraud-prevention platform for freight. Marquee is a founding member of its Certified Insurance Agency network, which means we meet a higher standard for verifying carriers and protecting the people who move freight — leading to faster onboarding and fewer fraud headaches.
