Truckers purchase policies to create a policy package, but many miss the need for bobtail and non-trucking liability insurance. In this blog, The Owens Agency LLC explains what both of those policies do for truckers in Waldron, AR.<\/p>\n
A bobtail policy, also called a deadheading policy, refers to insurance that covers the driver’s liability when driving without a trailer attached. This could mean the driver dropped off a load or has yet to pick one up. For it to apply, the driver must be actively on the clock but between hauls.<\/p>\n
Although non-trucking liability sometimes gets called bobtail insurance, they refer to two different things. A non-trucking situation refers to any personal use of a commercial vehicle. It includes driving with or without a trailer attached. In a non-trucking situation, a driver might have dropped off their load and headed to the grocery store for food or their child’s school to pick them up.<\/p>\n
Because both situations refer to a time between active work, other truck policies do not apply. A trucking company’s liability insurance only covers its drivers and rigs while actively used for work purposes. If you drive a tractor-trailer (semi-truck) or other big rig vehicle, you need these two policies to cover your liability completely.<\/p>\n
