Ten Four Truck Insurance: Providing Strong, Reliable Coverage for Trucking Operations

Ten Four Truck Insurance is a national group of captive insurance companies that only write insurance coverage for trucking operations.  Specifically, our liability coverage is written through Circle Star Insurance Company, a RRG, NAIC#:  11839.

When it comes to trucking insurance, a company’s financial rating matters more than most people realize. A strong rating signals that an insurer is financially stable and has the ability to pay claims reliably. That’s especially important in the trucking industry, where claims can be complex and costly.

In fact, many brokers and shippers require carriers to carry insurance from a highly rated company before they’ll agree to work together. It’s part of their own risk management, and sometimes even a contractual requirement. For trucking businesses, working with a reputable insurer also boosts credibility, helps with regulatory compliance, and provides peace of mind knowing their coverage will hold up if a serious claim arises.

Since 1992, we have been a trusted provider in the trucking insurance industry, serving brokers and fleets across the country. We are domiciled in Vermont and operate under the strict regulatory standards of the Vermont Insurance Regulatory Department and the 48 states where we do business. We’re always available to address any questions and provide clarity on our financial strength and coverage options.
