Roadside assistance for trucking

Help on the road when a tractor or trailer breaks down, so a bad day costs less time. Services, limits and coverage areas depend on the program.

What it is

What roadside assistance does

Roadside assistance is a service program for commercial trucks. When a unit breaks down, you call one number and help is dispatched, instead of finding and paying for a tow or repair on your own.

It is separate from your liability, cargo and physical damage coverage. Those policies respond to losses; roadside assistance helps with the breakdown itself.

FAQ

Roadside Assistance for Trucking questions

Quick answers before you request a quote.

Is roadside assistance the same as insurance?

No. It is a service program. It sits alongside your insurance and does not replace liability, cargo or physical damage coverage.

What services are included?

That depends on the program. Common services are towing, tire help, jump starts, fuel delivery and lockout help. Limits and distances vary, and we will show you the details before you decide.

Does it cover repairs?

Repair costs are generally not part of roadside assistance. Mechanical damage may fall under other coverage, subject to the policy.

Can I add it to an existing policy?

Often yes. Tell us what you carry today and we will go over your options.

Please note. Descriptions are general. Actual coverage depends on the policy you purchase, and coverage decisions are made by the carrier. Availability varies by state and carrier. Submitting a request is not a quote, binder or coverage.
