Dump truck insurance covers the heavier vehicles in the trucking industry and are used to haul large quantities of loose material. The material hauled is mostly used for construction purposes but can also be used in agriculture. Dump trucks haul items like dirt, sand, gravel, mulch, rocks, fine sand, and some agriculture products. Since these vehicles are so heavy, they will need to be driven by someone with a commercial driver’s license (CDL). Our dump truck insurance also covers end dump, bottom dumps, doubles or triple trailers.
Dump Trucks will haul loose material such as dirt, sand, gravel, rocks, grain, feed, seed, salt, etc.
Dump Trucks are designed to haul loose material such as sand, dirt, gravel, grain, seed, etc. So they are, of course, best at hauling the commodities just mentioned.
Depending on what you are hauling and for who, dump truck insurance can cost anywhere from $1,200 annually to $12,500. For example a farmer using a dump truck for his farm will most likely pay around $1,000 annually. Oppose to a dump truck driver who delivers to a farm might cost more like $5,000 for the years. It’s important when speaking to an insurance agent you make them aware of what you are hauling and if you are doing it for your business or hauling for a fee.
In order to operate a dump truck you will need to have a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
If your dump truck is over 26,000lbs you will also need to have state filings.
If you plan on crossing state lines, you will need to have federal filings.
Dump Trucks will, at the very least, need to be included on a Commercial Auto Liability policy. This coverage is responsible for paying any bodily injury or property damage to others while you or an employee are operating a vehicle for business purposes.
