Get a Trucking QuoteWe Specialize in Dirt, Sand, & Gravel
Hauling aggregate is not the same as delivering pizza. Your trucks are heavy, your radius is local, and your risks are unique.
Many agencies shy away from Dump Trucks and heavy haulers because they don't understand the filings. At River East Insurance, we lean into it.
We know that a Tri-Axle hauling gravel in Manchester has different needs than a Long-Haul Semi crossing state lines. We partner with carriers who have a specific appetite for Construction & Aggregate hauling to get you the best rates without sacrificing coverage.

Essential Trucking Coverages
Primary Liability
Mandatory coverage. It pays for injuries or damage you cause to others. Most aggregate haulers require $1,000,000 in liability to get on major job sites.
Physical Damage
Protects your truck. If your dump truck tips over at a job site or hits a deer on Route 2, this pays to repair or replace your vehicle.
Motor Truck Cargo
Even if you are hauling dirt, you are responsible for the load. Cargo coverage protects you if the load is lost or dumped accidentally on the highway.
General Liability
Trucking liability only covers you while driving. General Liability covers you when you are loading, unloading, or if a customer slips at your yard.
Pollution Liability (Broadened)
If your truck overturns and spills diesel fuel into a wetland, the cleanup costs can be astronomical. Standard auto policies often exclude this. Ask us about adding it.
