Ideal Accounts and Appetite
TCB can place accounts across the spectrum—from a start-up owner-operator with one truck to established fleets up to 1,000 units. Our markets write many trucking classes, including:
- Long-haul and regional freight carriers
- Owner-operators and leased owner-operators
- Light- to heavy-duty fleet operations
- Refrigerated, dry van, flatbed, tanker, and other specialized equipment haulers
Units may be scheduled individually or blanket-rated depending on the insured’s operations and reporting needs.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Key program features include:
- Choice of Fire, Theft & CAC or full Comprehensive forms
- Single-unit and fleet quotations
- Flexible deductible structures and valuation options (ACV, stated value, agreed value where available)
- Coverage for attached equipment and permanently installed accessories
- Ability to place standard and harder-to-place physical damage risks via multiple non-admitted markets
Example scenarios where this program fits:
- An agent needs same-day physical damage terms for a newly purchased tractor that must be placed on the road quickly.
- A carrier with multi-state operations wants to consolidate PD coverage for several hundred owned units under consistent forms and valuation choices.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premium
TCB works with a panel of non-admitted carriers to maintain flexibility on underwriting and pricing. Appetite, deductibles, and minimum premiums will vary by carrier, unit mix, geographic exposure, and coverage form selected. Provide vehicle schedules, valuations, loss runs (when available), and information about vehicle security and maintenance practices to speed placement and obtain the best terms.
