Trailer Interchange & Non-Owned
The coverage Port Everglades drayage runs on — covers chassis and containers you pull under interchange agreements.
Physical Damage
Collision and comprehensive on tractors, trailers, dumps and box trucks — theft and coastal weather priced in.

Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail)

General Liability & Workers' Comp

Trucks we insure across Broward:
Local Ground
We know the roads your trucks actually run
Broward moves freight through Port Everglades — one of Florida's busiest cargo and container ports — plus heavy construction and regional distribution on the I-95, I-595 and Florida's Turnpike. Drayage and construction both carry real exposure, and carriers price them differently. We know how, and we present your operation so you don't overpay.

FAQ
Fort Lauderdale trucking insurance questions
How much does trucking insurance cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A Broward owner-operator generally runs about $9,000 to $19,000 per year. Port Everglades drayage and long-haul sit higher; clean regional and box-truck fleets run lower. We shop multiple A-rated markets for the sharpest rate.
Do you cover Port Everglades drayage and trailer interchange?
Yes. Container drayage out of Port Everglades needs trailer interchange and non-owned trailer coverage for the chassis and boxes you pull under interchange agreements. We build those layers into your program.
What are Florida's minimum insurance requirements for a truck?
Florida Statute § 627.7415 sets minimums by weight: $50,000 (26,000–34,999 lb), $100,000 (35,000–43,999 lb), $300,000 (44,000 lb+). Interstate follows FMCSA: $750,000 general freight, $1,000,000 oil, $5,000,000 hazmat. Most shippers also require $1,000,000 CSL plus cargo.
Do you cover construction and dump trucks?
Yes. We place physical damage, liability and the general liability contractors require for dump and aggregate operations across Broward.
Can you handle FMCSA filings and COIs?
Yes — MCS-90, BMC-91 and same-day certificates of insurance, including additional-insured COIs the port and your shippers require.
How fast can I get a quote?
Most Fort Lauderdale trucking quotes are turned around within 24 hours once we have your operation details, driver info and loss history.
One submission, done right
Calling 10 agencies actually slows you down — and costs you options
In commercial trucking, insurers award your account to the first broker who submits it — it's called market clearance. When several agencies send the same operation to the same carriers, those markets get blocked or decline outright. So sending your account to 10 agencies doesn't get you more quotes — it shrinks your options and delays every one.
Give it to one broker who controls a clean submission to the full market. We shop Lloyd's, London and A-rated carriers on your behalf — once — and bring you the strongest terms, faster.
