Non-Trucking Liability Insurance

When you spend hours in your truck, hauling goods from one end of Oregon to the other, you may get accustomed to the vehicle so much that you start using it during off-work hours as well. Some of the instances include driving your truck to a family dinner right after work or making short personal trips here and there. It's important to know that your conventional trucking insurance will not cover any damage and/or accident that happens during those hours.

To have a better understanding of what kind of trips are already covered by your primary trucking insurance, look at the list below:

• Hauling cargo
• Driving to and from the terminal
• Fueling up
• On its way to and from maintenance or a vehicle service
• Is on a layover
• And more.

These actions are considered a part of your duty. For all other trips, you will need to acquire a Non-Trucking Liability Insurance in Oregon. This plan allows you to be more flexible when making personal plans, changing vehicles, and staying insured no matter where you go.
