cost of insurance
, it is possible to find affordable insurance. For leased owner-operators, you can get a policy to cover your trailer usually between $2,000 and $4,000 a year. New authorities typically see tractor-trailer insurance rates between $12,000 and $18,000 for their first year, with cheaper rates after that.
Tractor-trailer insurance costs depend on a variety of factors, so you’ll need to shop around to find the best rate. Some factors that influence your rate are:

or a full coverage policy.If you currently have car or home insurance, you may also want to check with your provider to find out if they offer tractor-trailer insurance. You could find a more affordable rate by bundling a policy with your current one.

car insurance
as well. Consistently checking rates with other companies can ensure you’re always finding the best rate for the coverage you require. If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, text
