Work Injury Insurance through TrueNorth

Most logistic providers require that the Contract Carriers with which they contract procure Occupational Accident (Occ/Acc) and/or Workers' Compensation insurance. TrueNorth has designed a few options to provide you with flexibility in protecting your business, while also meeting this requirement. Coverages include protection for drivers, helpers and business owners.

The Business Package Insurance Protection includes the following coverages:

Auto Liability Insurance | Provides protection against legal liability arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of any insured automobile.

Physical Damage Insurance | Comprehensive Collision provides protection against loss or damage to a covered auto resulting from a collision or other certain causes of loss.

General Liability Insurance | Provides protection needed to pay for bodily injury or property damages for which you are legally responsible. Such as, but not limited to, installation of appliances and furniture assembly.

Cargo Legal Liability Insurance | Provides property coverage for direct physical loss or damage to property of others in your care, custody, and control, for which you are legally liable.

Umbrella Liability Insurance | Provides excess liability coverage over your Auto Liability and General Liability policies.
