Business insurance
Insurance for Heavy Transport Operators
Heavy transport carries serious risk on every trip, so cover is comprehensive and not cheap. Heavy motor vehicle cover for your prime movers and trailers is the foundation, alongside marine transit or goods-in-transit cover for the freight you carry, since a damaged or lost load can be a major claim. Public liability protects you for third-party damage and injury, and around the $2,500 mark is a realistic premium starting point for a smaller operation, scaling with your fleet. With drivers on the road, workers' compensation is required, and personal accident or income protection matters for owner-drivers. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your sums insured and goods-in-transit limits before the new financial year, especially if you have added trucks or taken on higher-value freight.
Common questions
Heavy Transport Operators — insurance questions
What insurance does a heavy transport operator need?
Heavy motor vehicle cover for trucks and trailers and goods-in-transit cover for the freight you carry are the essentials, alongside public liability. With drivers on the road, workers' compensation is a legal requirement, and owner-drivers should consider personal accident or income-protection cover.
Why does goods-in-transit cover matter so much?
Because you are responsible for valuable freight that can be damaged, lost or stolen in transit, and a single load can be a large claim. Goods-in-transit or marine cargo cover protects you against those losses, which truck cover alone does not, making it essential for road freight.
