Trucking coverage for Denver City operators

Primary liability — bodily injury and property damage your truck causes others; serious highway claims routinely exceed $1 million.

Physical damage — collision, theft, fire, and weather (including the dust storms this area sees).

Motor truck cargo — protects the freight; most brokers and shippers require proof before they dispatch a load.

Non-trucking / bobtail liability — covers you off-dispatch and between loads.

Trailer interchange — for non-owned trailers you pull under an interchange agreement.

What it costs (typical 2026 ranges)

Rates depend on driving record, years in business, radius, and cargo, but realistic annual full-coverage ranges in Texas run roughly: box trucks $4,500–$9,000; hotshot $5,000–$11,000; semis (general freight) $9,000–$18,000; owner-operators on their own authority $12,000–$22,000. New ventures generally run 20–40% higher until they build two years of verified history. As an independent agency we compare carriers to land your best option instead of quoting one company.

FMCSA & Texas rules

Under your own interstate authority you need FMCSA filings and Form MCS-90; general-freight liability minimums start at $750,000, with $1,000,000 for auto haulers/household goods and up to $5,000,000 for hazmat. We handle MCS-90 and your filings when we write the policy.
