Physical damage cover for your own equipment.

Liability pays for the other driver. Physical damage is the coverage that repairs or replaces your tractor and your trailer — and it is the one your lienholder reads.

  • Stated value matched to your lien
  • Comp, collision, fire, and theft
  • Downtime and rental options

Physical damage

Where the line falls

Physical damage repairs or replaces your own equipment after a collision, fire, theft, vandalism, or weather loss. We set stated value against your loan balance so a total loss does not leave you upside down, and we add rental reimbursement or downtime coverage when your operation cannot absorb an idle week.

The line: the equipment is yours

This side — Physical damage

Your tractor and your trailer, after a collision, fire, theft, vandalism, or weather loss.

The other side

Harm to other people and to their property is a liability question, and a different policy answers it.

Primary auto liability

What it answers for

  • 01 Collision damage to your tractor or trailer
  • 02 Fire, theft, vandalism, and weather losses
  • 03 Stated value set against your loan balance, so a total loss does not leave you upside down
  • 04 Rental reimbursement or downtime cover, when the operation cannot absorb an idle week

Who asks for it

  • 01 Lienholders and finance companies holding a note on the equipment
  • 02 Lease agreements that name a stated value or a deductible ceiling
  • 03 Owner-operators whose truck is the business

Questions

What is the difference between physical damage and liability?
Liability pays for damage you cause to other people and their property, and it is federally mandated. Physical damage repairs your own truck and trailer, and it is required by your lienholder rather than by FMCSA.
