Australian heavy truck on the highway — truck insurance

Prime Movers Insurance

Insurance for the truck that keeps your business moving

A prime mover can be one of the most important assets in a transport business. It may spend most of its time on the road, pulling different trailers, travelling interstate or operating under different contracts.

The insurance needs to reflect how the truck is actually being used.

At Ideal Insurance Brokers, we look at your prime mover, where it operates, what it carries and how your business runs before comparing suitable insurance options.

Every Transport Business Is Different

One operator may run a single prime mover interstate. Another may have several trucks, different drivers and regular freight contracts.

We look at things such as:

The prime mover and its value
Who drives it
Operating areas and routes
What it is used to carry
Trailer arrangements
Finance or contract requirements
Claims history

We then compare suitable options and explain the important differences in cover, limits and price.

When Your Business Changes

Transport businesses don't always stay the same.

You may buy another truck, change routes, take on new freight or start working under a new contract.

Let us know when things change so your insurance can be reviewed and updated where necessary.
