Wholesale coverage guide

Commercial Auto and Trucking.

Direct answer. Commercial auto insurance commonly addresses liability and physical damage arising from scheduled business vehicles, while motor carrier programs may add cargo, trailer, non-trucking, or other transportation coverages. Wholesale review may be needed for fleet composition, radius, commodities, driver history, new ventures, losses, or difficult operations.
