5 Ways to Tap Into Commercial Trucking & Skyrocket Your Premiums

If you’re selling property and casualty insurance, but not offering commercial trucking policies, you’re leaving big money on the table. While home and auto policies can add up over time, trucking insurance policies bring in way more premium, much faster.


Think about it—most homeowners are paying a couple of thousand dollars a year for their policy. But a single trucking policy can be worth $10K, $20K, or even $50K+ in premium. That means you scale your book of business way faster without having to chase hundreds of small deals.


So, why aren’t more P&C agents jumping into trucking? Simple—they don’t know where to start. But that’s what this guide is for. Here are 5 ways to get started with trucking insurance today.


1. Learn the Basics of Commercial Trucking Insurance

Before you start selling, you gotta understand what you’re offering. Trucking insurance isn’t like regular auto or home policies. It includes coverages like:


Auto liability – Required for all trucking businesses. Covers damage if they cause an accident.
Physical damage – Covers their truck if it gets damaged in a crash.
Motor truck cargo – Protects the freight they’re hauling.
Non-trucking liability – Covers their truck when it’s being used off-duty.
Workers’ comp – For trucking companies with employees.


Once you know the key coverages, you’ll feel a lot more confident selling trucking policies.


2. Start by Targeting Small Fleets & Owner-Operators

A lot of agents make the mistake of thinking they need to land huge trucking companies right away. That’s not true. The easiest way to get started is by helping small fleets and owner-operators (truckers who own their own truck).


Why?
✅ They’re easier to reach and more likely to switch policies.
✅ They’re constantly looking for better rates and coverage.
✅ They don’t have massive corporate teams handling their insurance—
you deal with them directly.

Once you get your foot in the door with a few truckers, referrals can help you grow fast.


3. Partner with Trucking Industry Businesses

One of the best ways to find truckers needing insurance is by connecting with businesses that serve them. Partner with:


🔹
Freight dispatchers – They help truckers find loads and can refer them to you.
🔹
Truck dealerships – Every truck buyer needs insurance before they hit the road.
🔹
Mechanics & repair shops – Truckers trust their mechanics and take their advice.
🔹
Factoring companies – They handle truckers’ finances and know who needs coverage.


By building relationships in the trucking industry, you can get leads coming to you instead of chasing them.


4. Use Social Media & Online Marketing

Truckers are always on the road, but they still use social media just like everyone else. Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok are great places to connect with truckers and share valuable info about insurance.


🚛 Post short videos explaining trucking insurance in simple terms.
🚛
Run Facebook ads targeting truckers looking for better coverage.
🚛
Join trucking Facebook groups and offer free advice (without spamming).


The more you put yourself out there, the more truckers will start reaching out to you.


5. Get the Right Sales Training & Leads

Selling trucking insurance is very different from selling home and auto. If you try to sell the wrong way, you’ll get ignored fast. Truckers don’t want to hear corporate talk—they want someone who understands their world and gets straight to the point.

🔥
Learn how to talk to truckers and close deals without sounding like a salesman.
🔥
Master cold calling techniques that actually work.
🔥

That’s where we come in. We provide leads directly from our website—just like the one you’re reading right now. We generate thousands of trucking leads every month, so you’re always talking to serious prospects.


Are You Ready to Take Your Insurance Sales to the Next Level?

If you’re serious about scaling your premium fast, don’t waste time selling small policies that take forever to add up. Trucking insurance is where the real money is.
