Moving Company Insurance

Moving Company Insurance is a specialized commercial package designed to cover the logistical risks of transporting household or commercial goods. It goes beyond simple auto liability by including cargo protection and specialized general liability. This coverage protects your business from the financial fallout of damaged furniture, employee injuries, and vehicular accidents.

The “Risk Reality”: Transit & Theft

Movers face a dual threat: property damage and employee injury. A dropped piano or a stolen truck can cost thousands instantly. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), cargo theft and transit accidents are top risks, and federal law mandates specific cargo liability limits for interstate movers. Without the right “Motor Truck Cargo” policy, you could be paying for a client’s broken heirlooms out of your own pocket.

Moving Company Insurance Coverage

We build packages that cover the goods in your care, custody, and control.

What is Covered
General Liability: Covers third-party property damage (e.g., scratching a floor) and bodily injury at the job site.
Motor Truck Cargo: Essential coverage for the client’s items while they are on your truck.
Workers’ Compensation: Covers medical bills and lost wages if your movers are injured while lifting.
Commercial Auto: Covers your moving trucks in the event of an accident.
What is NOT Covered (Exclusions)
Poor Packing: Damage caused by improper packing may be excluded if you didn’t pack the boxes yourself.
Employee Theft: Requires a separate Fidelity Bond or Crime coverage endorsement.

The “Dream” Difference: Standard vs. Comprehensive

Most direct quotes only cover the basics in the left column. We shop multiple carriers to secure the critical add-ons in the right column that actually protect your livelihood.

 

Risk Area Standard General Liability Movers Package
Bodily Injury (Non-Employee) Covered Covered
Goods Damaged in Transit Excluded Covered (Cargo)
Employee Injury Excluded Covered (Workers Comp)
Truck Accident Damage Excluded Covered (Comm. Auto)

 

 

Moving Company Insurance Cost

“How much does moving company insurance cost?” Premiums depend on fleet size, radius of operation (local vs. interstate), and payroll.

  • General Liability: Small movers often pay between $2,000 and $4,500 annually according to industry market data.
  • Commercial Auto: This is the most significant cost, often ranging from $3,000 to $8,000 per vehicle depending on driver history.
  • Workers’ Comp: Moving is a high-physical-risk class code, leading to higher rates per $100 of payroll compared to office jobs.

The “Independent Difference”: Why Dream Assurance?

One accident shouldn’t park your fleet permanently. “Independent Means Multiple Choices.”

  • Filing Assistance: We handle state and federal filings (BMC-91X) to keep your authority active.
  • Carrier Selection: We compare quotes from Progressive Commercial, Northland, and others to find the best rate for your fleet.
  • Claims Advocacy: When a claim happens, our agents work to get your trucks repaired and back on the road quickly.

Mr. Andre was a massive help beginning to end! He helped us get a great deal on our insurance, and explained everything thoroughly. It isn’t every day you get an insurance agent that you feel actually know what’s they’re talking about AND has your best interest in mind, but he definitely cares about his clients! Thanks Andre, and thanks Dream Assurance!

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cargo and inland marine insurance?
Motor Truck Cargo specifically covers goods you are paid to haul. Inland Marine covers your *own* equipment (like dollies, ramps, and blankets) while in transit.
No. General Liability covers damage you cause to the premises (like walls). Theft or damage to the cargo itself is covered under Motor Truck Cargo or a specific Crime policy.
Yes. In most states, if you hire someone to work, you are responsible for their injuries. Failing to carry Workers’ Comp can lead to massive fines and lawsuits.
Interstate movers must typically carry at least $750,000 in Auto Liability and specific Cargo limits (usually $5,000 per vehicle/ $10,000 per occurrence) to maintain their DOT authority.
Standard cargo policies only cover goods *in transit*. If you store customer goods in a warehouse overnight or longer, you need “Warehouse Legal Liability” coverage.
