New Authority Truck Insurance built for trucking operations

This page is for trucking businesses that need insurance for carriers activating a DOT/MC authority and preparing to haul freight. We focus on commercial trucking insurance, not personal home or auto insurance, so the quote conversation stays centered on trucks, drivers, cargo, radius, contracts, filings, and compliance.

Coverage depends on your authority, equipment, drivers, cargo, garaging location, routes, loss history, and contract requirements. We do not promise a specific rate or carrier; we help you gather the right information and shop available options.

Common coverage options

  • Primary auto liability
  • FMCSA filing support where applicable
  • Motor truck cargo
  • Physical damage
  • General liability
  • Trailer interchange
  • Excess liability

What to have ready for a quote

  • DOT/MC number if available
  • Business name, garaging address, and operating states
  • Truck and trailer details, including VINs if available
  • Driver names, dates of birth, license states, and experience
  • Cargo hauled, radius, contracts, and required limits

Can Class Insurance help with MC activation insurance?

Class Insurance Agency can help new trucking operations shop coverage options and discuss the information carriers usually need for new authority quotes.
