Pulling a trailer that is not yours? Your regular insurance probably will not cover it.
Trailer interchange insurance is one of the most overlooked coverages in trucking, and it is the difference between a small premium and a $50,000 out-of-pocket bill when something goes wrong with a non-owned trailer.
Here is what you need to know:
• Required by ports, rail terminals, and most intermodal contracts
• Covers physical damage to non-owned trailers in your possession
• Different from non-owned trailer coverage and cargo insurance
• Typically costs $100 to $1,500 per year
• Requires a written interchange agreement to respond
