    How exactly? The carrier only offers basic coverage for bobtail/non trucking and I have to govern my truck at 65mph.

    My insurance covers everything I described plus I can keep my truck higher than 65mph plus if my truck breaks down I have an option to rent a truck until fixed and my insurance company covers it.

    Personally, I got the better deal

    NTL/Comp/general liability, sure. But if leased to a carrier you're under their policy, whether they charge you separate or in the %
    Not under their policy is pretty shady, outright against FMCSA regs.

    I understand completely, it’s just bizarre what the OP is saying.

    I don't believe he has the auto liability, just the NTL/Comp/General.

    Okay, that sounds about right for bobtail insurance/ non trucking liability.

    What you describe here is not the liability insurance.

    How exactly? The carrier only offers basic coverage for bobtail/non trucking and I have to govern my truck at 65mph.

    My insurance covers everything I described plus I can keep my truck higher than 65mph plus if my truck breaks down I have an option to rent a truck until fixed and my insurance company covers it.

    I know I need a mentor! Someone please! My husband has the CDL but I'm the one who does the paperwork. We just bought a 2015 Mack and it's sitting in the yard because I don't understand/know how to get a tag. It's all confusing. First time owning a truck. Now he's driving for a company and not making any money. He's driving their truck.
