Market Detail: Across America Insurance Services offers a trailer interchange policy as part of a comprehensive risk management program for commercial trucking business clients. If you have trucking clients who are looking for trailer interchange insurance, we’ll help you find the coverage they need from the industry’s best A+ rated carriers. It’s not uncommon for trucking carriers to transfer, trade or share trailers while transporting freight. Interchange agreements often include a provision holding the trucking company responsible for any damages to a non-owned trailer or container while in their possession. However, standard coverage may not be enough to ensure the trucking company is protected and that their customers will be adequately compensated in the event of a loss. Trailer interchange insurance provides extra coverage under a trailer interchange agreement.
