Our story

Two Decades Protecting Owner-Operators

Hot Shot Truck Insurance launched because most commercial insurance agencies didn\u2019t know the difference between a hot shot carrier and a long-haul fleet. We built a specialty practice dedicated to 1-ton pickups, gooseneck trailers, and flatbeds — with agents who speak FMCSA and understand load board agreements, trailer interchange, and the real risks owner-operators face between loads.

What we stand for

How We Work

FMCSA-First Mindset

We start with your authority type and build coverage that keeps you compliant — before we ever talk price.

No-Gap Programs

We close the bobtail, non-trucking, and trailer interchange gaps that leave most hot-shot carriers exposed.

A-Rated Carriers Only

Every policy placed through an A.M. Best A-rated or better carrier — your claims get paid.

Same-Day Certificates

Freight brokers don\u2019t wait. We issue COIs same-day so you never lose a lane over paperwork.
