Starting a new trucking company? Yes, you can get insured.
If you are starting a trucking company, just activated your DOT, or have never had commercial truck insurance, chances are you’ve already heard this:
“We don’t insure New Ventures.”
And here’s why:
The reality is that most agencies and insurance companies consider New Ventures high risk and therefore do not accept them.
At RoadKing Insurance Agency, we do.

RoadKing Insurance Agency: Specialists in New Venture Trucking Insurance
RoadKing is not a general insurance agency.We are a trucking-focused insurance agency, built by truckers and for truckers.
We have special insurance programs designed specifically for New Ventures, including companies that:
Have no prior insurance history
Have no loss runs
Are just starting operations

What Is a New Venture in Trucking Insurance?
A New Venture is a trucking company that:
Is brand new
Has a recently activated DOT number
Has never had commercial truck insurance
Has no insurance history
For most insurance companies, this represents higher risk.For RoadKing, it represents an opportunity to set you up correctly from day one.
Requirements to Insure a New Venture (Explained Simply)
This is ALL the insurance company needs:
1.- CDL License with a minimum of 3 years of experience
This can be:
The driver’s CDL, or
The owner’s CDL
If there is a CDL with at least 3 years of experience, the process can move forward.
2.- Vehicle Registration
We need:
The vehicle registration for each unit
This applies to one truck or a small fleet
3.- What if the DOT owner will NOT be driving?
Then the insurance company requires proof of trucking industry experience (minimum 3 years).
This proof can include:
Previous trucking contracts
Lease agreements
Pay stubs
Tax documents
Any documentation that proves real trucking industry experience
This experience can replace the CDL requirement.
