Trailer interchange coverage may address physical damage to a non-owned trailer in your care under a written trailer interchange agreement.
Coverage starts with your operating model.
Underwriters evaluate how equipment, drivers, freight, routes, contracts, and business experience work together.
- Carriers pulling pool trailers
- Drop-and-hook operations
- Motor carriers using non-owned equipment
- Businesses with written interchange agreements
Build the policy around the actual exposure.
Coverage Scope
The policy form, endorsements, exclusions, limits, deductibles, and scheduled exposures control what is covered.
Contract Review
Broker, shipper, lender, lease, and customer requirements should be reviewed before selecting limits.
Underwriting Review
Eligibility and pricing depend on complete, accurate operational information and carrier appetite.
Information that helps reduce back-and-forth.
- Written interchange agreement
- Maximum trailer values
- Types and number of non-owned trailers
- Radius, cargo, deductibles, and loss history
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all policy forms provide identical protection
- Using incomplete or outdated application details
- Relying on a certificate instead of policy and endorsement wording
- Treating a request as confirmed coverage
Know what to expect before you submit.
Is trailer interchange the same as non-owned trailer coverage?
Not always. The agreement and policy form determine which coverage approach applies.
Does it cover cargo inside the trailer?
No. Cargo coverage is separate.
How much limit is needed?
The limit should reflect the maximum value of trailers for which you may be responsible.
