Owner Operator Insurance in South Gate – Complete Protection for Independent Truckers

As an owner-operator, your truck is more than a vehicle — it’s your business, your income, and your future. Whether you’re leased to a carrier or working under your own authority, having the right insurance is critical. At Auto Truck Insurance Agency, we specialize in Owner Operator Insurance designed for independent truckers across South Gate and Southern California.

We help you meet FMCSA, DOT, and broker requirements, while protecting your truck, cargo, and livelihood. With flexible coverage options and affordable rates, you’ll get the protection you need to stay compliant, confident, and covered every mile.

 

What Is Owner Operator Insurance?

Owner Operator Insurance is a combination of commercial coverages tailored for independent truck drivers. It protects you from accidents, cargo loss, and legal claims, whether you’re driving under a carrier’s authority or running your own operation.

Depending on how you operate, you may need:

  • Leased Owner-Operator Coverage (leased to a motor carrier)
  • Owner-Operator with Authority (independent with your own DOT/MC number)

Our experts will help you choose the right plan for your situation — fast, affordable, and compliant.

 

Essential Coverages for Owner-Operators

Your business faces many risks on the road. We’ll help you build a policy that includes:

✅ Primary Liability

Required by law for drivers with their own authority. Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause while operating your truck.

✅ Physical Damage

Protects your truck and trailer from collisions, theft, fire, and vandalism — whether you’re on the job or off duty.

✅ Motor Truck Cargo

Covers the goods you haul if they’re damaged or lost during transport.

✅ Bobtail Insurance

Provides liability coverage when you’re driving your truck without a trailer, outside of dispatch.

✅ Non-Trucking Liability

Covers accidents that happen off-dispatch when your truck is used for personal reasons.

✅ Occupational Accident Coverage

Helps pay for medical bills and lost wages if you’re injured while working (especially if you don’t have workers’ comp).

 

Who Needs This Coverage?

You need Owner Operator Insurance if you:

  • Own and operate your own commercial truck
  • Lease your truck to a motor carrier
  • Run under your own DOT or MC authority
  • Haul freight locally or long distance
  • Want to meet broker and shipper insurance requirements

Whether you’re a solo driver or manage a small trucking business, we’ll design a plan that keeps you fully protected.
