Same-Day Coverage, Your Way
What is Flat Bed Truck Insurance
Flatbed truck insurance is crucial for transport operators who carry wide, open, or unsecured loads. Whether you run a tilt tray, low loader, or standard flatbed, this cover helps protect your vehicle, cargo, and livelihood. From on-road accidents to third-party damage, flatbed insurance is designed to handle the unique risks associated with open-deck freight.
Flatbeds are often exposed to weather, shifting loads, and loading zone incidents—making them more vulnerable than enclosed trucks. With proper insurance, you’re covered against loss, damage, liability claims, and even downtime if something goes wrong mid-job.
