Insurance

Need info on what type and what amount of liability coverage i will need for a "D" unit in addition to what the company provides that i am leased to.

You will need bobtail insurance aka non-trucking liability for sure. This will cover you when you are unloaded. The Carrier will (or should) cover your cargo insurance and trucking liability for you.

Hi Joker,
Be careful of what it is you do get (insurance). Make sure you let the agent that you are dealing with know up front what it is your company is providing, He should be able to help you answer that question. It is illegal to carry two of the same type of insurance on a vehicle of any kind.

Yes, This is for when you are empty and/or not under dispatch.

Your leased carrier should be able to walk you through this and offer you options on buying the bobtail insurance.
