Excess Liability Insurance for Trucking & Commercial Businesses

for Trucking & Commercial VEHICLES

ELITE PARTNERS INSURANCE GROUP

Extra Protection When Primary Limits Aren’t Enough

Excess Liability Insurance provides additional coverage limits on top of your primary liability policies when a serious claim exceeds standard limits. At Elite Partners Insurance Group, we structure excess liability coverage for trucking and commercial operations that face high-severity risks—helping protect your business, assets, and future when a large loss occurs.

When one claim can exceed a million dollars, excess liability coverage isn’t optional—it’s critical.

What Excess Liability Insurance Does Not Cover

Understanding coverage limits helps avoid surprises:


  • Damage to your own truck or trailer (Physical Damage required)
  • Cargo losses (Motor Truck Cargo required)
  • Claims not covered by underlying policies
  • Losses below the primary policy limit


We help you combine the right policies so every part of your operation is properly protected.

Why Excess Liability Is Often Set Up Wrong

Many businesses run into problems because:

1.

Underlying limits don’t meet excess carrier requirements

2.

Not all policies are properly scheduled

3.

Coverage gaps exist between primary and excess layers

4.

Contracts require umbrella coverage, not true excess
