At Midwest Insurance Partners, we specialize in commercial truck insurance for owner-operators, small fleets, and large carriers throughout the Midwest. Whether you haul locally or run long-haul routes across state lines, we build coverage that fits your operation — not a one-size-fits-all policy.
We work with multiple top-rated carriers to find you the right combination of price and protection. Our agents understand the trucking industry, the risks you face every day, and the regulations you must comply with.
Coverage Types We Offer:
• Primary Liability — Required by the FMCSA, this covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others.
• Cargo Insurance — Protects the freight you're hauling against loss, theft, or damage.
• Physical Damage — Covers your truck and trailer from collision, fire, theft, and other perils.
• Bobtail Insurance — Covers your truck when operating without a trailer, between loads.
• Non-Trucking Liability — Covers personal use of your truck when not under dispatch.
• Occupational Accident — Protects owner-operators who are not covered by workers' comp.
• Motor Truck General Liability — Covers your trucking business operations beyond the road.
• Umbrella / Excess Liability — Extra protection above your primary limits for catastrophic claims.
Who We Serve:
• Owner-Operators (single truck)
• Small Fleets (2–20 trucks)
• Mid-Size Fleets (21–100 trucks)
• Large Carriers (100+ trucks)
• Hotshot Truckers
• Flatbed, Refrigerated, Tanker, and Dry Van Operators

Yes. As an owner-operator, you are required by the FMCSA to carry minimum primary liability coverage — typically $750,000 for general freight and up to $5,000,000 for hazmat. You should also consider cargo insurance, physical damage, bobtail insurance, and occupational accident coverage to protect yourself fully when you're on and off dispatch.
Bobtail insurance covers your truck when it is being driven without a trailer attached — such as after dropping a load. Non-trucking liability covers your truck during personal use when you are NOT under dispatch from a motor carrier. Both are important for owner-operators who use their truck outside of active hauls.
Costs vary widely based on your operation type, number of trucks, cargo hauled, driving record, years in business, and the states you operate in. An owner-operator with a clean record hauling general freight may pay $8,000–$15,000 per year for primary liability and cargo. Fleets are priced per unit.

Yes, though your options and pricing will vary. We work with specialty markets that insure drivers with prior violations, accidents, or lapses in coverage. Be upfront about your history so we can match you with a carrier that will actually insure you rather than one that might cancel or deny a claim later.
