TCB Insurance Programs offers a responsive, market-ready Truckers Physical Damage solution for agents placing standalone or fleet physical damage on owned commercial units. Whether you represent a single owner-operator or a national fleet, TCB combines underwriting expertise and broad non-admitted market access to help you secure coverage quickly and competitively.
Our program supports both Fire, Theft & CAC (Collision and Comprehensive) and full Comprehensive forms. We write local, regional, and long-haul operations and can accommodate a wide range of truck and trailer types—so long as the physical damage coverage is needed for owned equipment. This offering is designed specifically for independent agents and brokers seeking a capable wholesale partner for physical damage placements in the transportation space.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
TCB can place accounts across the spectrum—from a start-up owner-operator with one truck to established fleets up to 1,000 units. Our markets write many trucking classes, including:
Long-haul and regional freight carriers
Owner-operators and leased owner-operators
Light- to heavy-duty fleet operations
Refrigerated, dry van, flatbed, tanker, and other specialized equipment haulers
Units may be scheduled individually or blanket-rated depending on the insured’s operations and reporting needs.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Key program features include:
Choice of Fire, Theft & CAC or full Comprehensive forms
Single-unit and fleet quotations
Flexible deductible structures and valuation options (ACV, stated value, agreed value where available)
Coverage for attached equipment and permanently installed accessories
Ability to place standard and harder-to-place physical damage risks via multiple non-admitted markets
Example scenarios where this program fits:
An agent needs same-day physical damage terms for a newly purchased tractor that must be placed on the road quickly.
A carrier with multi-state operations wants to consolidate PD coverage for several hundred owned units under consistent forms and valuation choices.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premium
TCB works with a panel of non-admitted carriers to maintain flexibility on underwriting and pricing. Appetite, deductibles, and minimum premiums will vary by carrier, unit mix, geographic exposure, and coverage form selected. Provide vehicle schedules, valuations, loss runs (when available), and information about vehicle security and maintenance practices to speed placement and obtain the best terms.
