If you are the carrier make sure your drivers and vehicles are covered for every trucking scenario. You wouldn’t want to find out the hard way that you don’t have bobtail insurance. Imagine assigning drivers to bobtail from one location to another, but on the way they have an accident and you weren’t covered.

So this is why bobtail insurance is so important. It covers the cost of property damage and/or injuries caused while your truck was running without its trailer. So then how do you get it?
Well, there are a couple ways actually. You could sit down at the computer and search for hours and hours, reading all about the different companies. You could research and find insurance brokers who assist in finding the best bobtail insurance rates and deals. Or you could simply ask your current insurance agent if your policy includes bobtail insurance, if not how you can get it.
Now, there are actually companies who specialize in bobtail insurance. Sure they usually offer other services, but will actually offer bobtail insurance as a standalone (like getting dental without medical or vision insurance as well). Others offer package deals (like getting your TV, internet, and phone all in one deal).
