Truck Insurance for the Bay Area & Port of Oakland

Coverage for Fleets and Drayage Carriers Across the Bay Area

The Port of Oakland anchors freight for all of Northern California. From drayage out of the Oakland terminals to regional runs through Hayward, Fremont, San Jose and Richmond along the 80 and 880 corridors, carriers here deal with bridge tolls, tight delivery windows and some of the highest operating costs in the state.

Callidus Insurance Solutions insures fleets and owner-operators across the Bay Area. We place primary liability, cargo, physical damage and trailer interchange coverage with motor carrier insurers, handle your California MCP and FMCSA filings, and turn certificates around quickly so your trucks keep moving. Already insured? Send us your declarations page and loss runs 90 days before renewal and we will take your fleet to market.

Fleet & Specialized Hauling Coverage

We write policies tailored to the specific commodities you haul and the radius of your operations:

• Primary Auto Liability: Mandatory coverage protecting your business against bodily injury and property damage to third parties. We provide limits meeting federal FMCSA mandates ($750,000 to $1,000,000+ CSL) and state requirements.
• Motor Truck Cargo Insurance: Protects the freight you haul against theft, fire, collision, or loss while in transit. We offer specialized endorsements including Reefer Breakdown / Temperature Exclusion Coverage for refrigerated freight, debris removal, and earn-freight charges.
• Physical Damage Coverage: Comprehensive and collision protection for your valuable tractors, semi-trailers, dump trucks, and specialized rigs. Includes physical damage coverage based on Stated Amount or Actual Cash Value (ACV).
• Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail) / Deadhead Coverage: Crucial protection for owner-operators under permanent lease to a motor carrier when operating the tractor for non-business or off-duty purposes without a trailer.
• Trailer Interchange & Non-Owned Trailer: Covers physical damage to trailers you do not own while in your possession under a written interchange agreement or trailer-sharing contract.
• Workers’ Compensation & Occupational Accident: Truck driving carries high risk for physical injuries, road accidents, and loading strain. We provide compliant Workers' Comp for employee drivers or flexible Occupational Accident (Occ-Acc) programs for independent contractors.
