Commercial Truck Insurance in Tacoma Washington

Hello there, road warriors, haulers, freight-shifters, and everybody else rolling their wheels down the highways and byways of Tacoma, Washington. You've got your hands on the wheel, your eyes on the road, and your coffee in the cup holder, but what about your truck insurance? That's where we come in, your friends at The Insurance Store, or as the regulars call us, TIS. So kick back, set your cruise control, and let's ride shotgun together through the ins and outs of Tacoma Washington truck insurance.

Just think about Tacoma for a second. Nestled in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, it's home to over 200,000 people, a bustling port, and a landscape to make your cab's rearview mirror blush. But more than its emerald-green scenery, Tacoma's strategic location as a transportation hub is a key reason why our trucking amigos love it here.

We're talking about an intricate web of highways such as the I-5 and SR-16, weaving through the bustling Port of Tacoma and sprawling suburbs like Lakewood and Parkland. These routes are frequently used by you folks to transport all sorts of cargo: apples from Washington's abundant orchards, fine timber from our lush forests, and electronics from our ever-booming tech industries. But with every precious cargo comes a need for top-notch insurance.


What’s In Your Coverage?

What's as essential to a trucker as a working CB radio and a killer playlist for those long hauls? The right insurance coverage, of course! Let's dig into the main types of Tacoma Washington truck insurance you ought to be thinking about:

  • Auto Liability

    Did you know Washington State requires all truck drivers to carry auto liability insurance? This little gem comes to your rescue if you cause an accident while driving your rig around Mount Rainier or along the Puyallup River. It covers the damage done to other people’s property and any injuries they might sustain.

  • Physical Damage

    As much as we love Tacoma's scenic drives, we know the rugged terrain can be rough on your rig. Physical damage insurance protects your truck and trailer against damage from accidents, natural disasters, and (heaven forbid) theft.

  • Motor Truck Cargo

    If you’re hauling loads of Washington’s finest apples from Yakima Valley or stacks of timber from Olympic Peninsula, motor truck cargo insurance is your best buddy. It covers the commodities you're hauling if they're damaged or lost in transit.

  • Bobtail and Non-Trucking

    This coverage is like a safety net for when you're without a trailer or off the job. Imagine you've just dropped off a load at the Port of Tacoma and you’re heading to your favorite diner in Downtown Tacoma for a bite. If you're involved in an accident on your way, bobtail and non-trucking coverage has your back!

  • Workers Compensation

    Got a team driving your trucks? Workers compensation is a no-brainer. It ensures that your employees are covered if they get injured while working.

  • General Liability

    This kind of insurance covers you if someone’s property is damaged or if someone is injured as a result of your business operations, but not directly related to operating a truck. For example, if a customer trips over a tool you left out at a delivery site, this policy could cover their medical costs.
