Workers’ comp insurance for Trucking can be hard to find and expensive in many states. Over the past few years, a lot of national insurance companies have quit quoting coverage for long-haul trucking and limited their appetite for short-haul truckers. Other regional carriers can’t provide the coverage required when traveling to other states. A lot of owner-operatorsend up paying higher rates for a State Fund policy.

Our experts understand the underwriting requirements of the insurance companies and we know how to negotiate the lowest rates on coverage. That’s why we’ve developed trucking programs designed to help you get the best rates and most flexible payment options.

Do Trucking Companies Need Workers Comp?

Like nearly every other industry, a trucking and towing company that hires employees must either purchase a workers’ compensation policy from an insurance provider or through the State Fund. It doesn’t matter if your truckers work full-time or part-time—they still need coverage.

Without proper insurance, you may experience significant financial hardship or even lose your business trying to cover medical bills and related expenses out of pocket.

There’s no need to leave your business or employees vulnerable. Trucking company worker’s compensation insurance pays for any bills that may arise due to a work-related injury.

What is Trucking Workers’ Compensation in Arizona?

If you’re a driver for a trucking company, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. After all, you probably have worker’s compensation insurance that covers most of your medical bills, and you make sure to keep your insurance coverage up to date. Is there anything else to it, though? Are there nuances to the law that you might not be aware of? The short answer is yes, but before we get into that, let’s examine how the law applies to trucking workers in Arizona. This can be due to the negligence of the company driver (who is considered at fault) or the negligence of the employee (who is not). If you’ve been injured in a truck or other heavy-duty vehicle, you may be able to claim worker’s compensation – but you’ll have to bring it to the table yourself.

Do Owner Operators Need Workers Comp?

The answer varies, depending on the contract and your state. Most states require all truckers—regardless of their owner-operator status—to have workers’ compensation coverage.

If your company is subcontracting truck drivers, you can typically elect to include them in your workers’ compensation coverage, or the trucker can agree to purchase Occupational Accident Injury Coverage for himself. Either way, there must be coverage in place.
