Long-Haul Trucking Insurance in Utah

Cross-State Coverage That Keeps You Moving

If you’re hauling loads across state lines, you need more than basic trucking insurance—you need long-haul trucking insurance that meets both federal and interstate requirements. At Truck Insurance Helpers, we specialize in helping new and experienced long-haul drivers across Utah get affordable, reliable coverage for their extended trips.

What Is Long-Haul Trucking Insurance?

Long-haul trucking insurance is designed for truckers who travel more than 300 miles per trip, often across state lines. It must meet federal regulations, broker requirements, and protect you over longer, riskier routes.

Common coverages in a long-haul insurance policy:

  • Primary Liability Insurance – Required for interstate commerce and FMCSA authority.

  • Cargo Insurance – Protects goods in transit across long distances.

  • Physical Damage Coverage – Covers your truck and trailer if damaged.

  • Bobtail/Non-Trucking Liability – Covers you when you’re not under dispatch.

  • Trailer Interchange – If you haul non-owned trailers.

  • Occupational Accident Insurance – Often chosen instead of workers’ comp for owner-operators.

We help you understand your needs, compare quotes, and get insured fast—so you can hit the road legally and safely.

Who Needs Long-Haul Coverage?

You need long-haul trucking insurance if:

  • You travel more than 300 miles per delivery or work in interstate commerce.

  • You’re operating under your own MC/DOT number.

  • You’re a for-hire carrier transporting goods across state lines.

  • You’re contracted with brokers or shippers who require specific limits or filings.

Whether you’re new to long-haul driving or switching from short-haul, we tailor your plan based on your route, cargo, and vehicle type.
