Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is the main difference between Bobtail and Non-Trucking Liability (NTL)?
NTL covers you when you use your truck for personal, non-business tasks, regardless of trailer attachment. Bobtail covers you whenever you drive the truck without a trailer attached, even if you are actively working or under commercial dispatch.
Q.Does my motor carrier's primary liability cover me when I'm off-duty?
No. The motor carrier's primary liability policy only covers you while you are actively transporting cargo or driving under their commercial dispatch. Once you are off-duty, their coverage stops, leaving you fully responsible for any accident unless you carry NTL.
Q.How much does Non-Trucking Liability (NTL) insurance cost in Fort Worth?
Because NTL only covers personal, non-commercial driving, it is highly affordable. Policies typically range from $30 to $60 per month, depending on your driving record and truck value. Susan and her team compare 56 carriers to find you the lowest premium.
Q.Will my motor carrier require me to carry Bobtail or NTL?
Yes. Almost all major motor carriers require leased owner-operators to carry NTL or Bobtail insurance as part of their lease agreement to protect the tractor when it is not operating under dispatch.
Q.Does Bobtail insurance cover physical damage to my tractor?
No, Bobtail and NTL are strictly liability policies (covering damage to other people and their property). To cover physical damage to your actual truck tractor from collisions, weather, or theft, you must add 'Physical Damage' coverage, which we can easily configure.
Q.What is a 'lease-on' agreement and how does it affect my insurance needs?
A lease-on agreement is a legal contract where an owner-operator leases their truck tractor to an established motor carrier to operate under the carrier's DOT authority. Under this setup, the carrier provides primary liability while you are dispatched, but requires you to provide NTL/Bobtail and Physical Damage.
