Also if you have your own premises or storage involved, you should also ensure you have suitable business package insurance coverage in place as well. Additionally, considering coverage for Business Interruption Insurance and/or Downtime Insurance is also a good idea.

If you employ employees, there is also a requirement to have Workers' Compensation Insurance in place as well. If you are an owner operator, you should also consider your own Personal Accident Insurance policy, also known as Personal Accident and Sickness or Personal Accident and Illness Insurance policy to protect your livelihood.

Rigid Truck Insurance

Rigid Truck Insurance is available from a wide range of Truck Insurers depending upon the size and usage of the truck. Rigid Truck Insurance is assessed based upon the following Rigid Truck classes:

Light Rigid Truck Insurance

Light Commercial Trucks or Light Rigid Trucks under 5 Tonnes Carrying Capacity. Prominent Truck Insurance companies that cover these vehicles include CGU, Allianz, NTI, Global Transport, QBE and Zurich. Another important factor is the exact occupation of the truck owner and exact type of goods being transported. Common types of trucks in this range include Pantecs and other small trucks.

Medium Rigid Truck Insurance

Medium Commercial Trucks or Medium Rigid Trucks between the 5 and 10 Tonnes Carrying Capacity. The same range of Insurers will apply here as with Light Rigid Trucks, again depending upon the exact occupation, usage and goods being transported. Common types of Rigid Trucks include Panetcs, Tautliners, Curtainsiders and Tippers etc.

Heavy Rigid Truck Insurance

Heavy Rigid Trucks are large trucks over 10 Tonnes Carrying Capacity and again include the all Rigid Body types. Insurers such as Allianz and CGU will not insure Heavy Trucks, as their subsidiary companies Global Transport and NTI are specialists in this market. The insurers that provide coverage for Prime Movers will normally also provide for Rigid Trucks over 10 Tonnes.
