Affordable Commercial Truck Insurance in Florida

Soma insures a wide range of commercial trucks in Florida, including semi-trucks, box trucks, flatbeds, refrigerated units, dump trucks, tow trucks, and hazmat haulers. We also place coverage for owner-operators, small regional fleets, and large long-haul carriers. If your truck type has been declined elsewhere, our specialty carrier relationships can still find you a competitive program.

Commercial truck insurance premiums in Florida vary based on factors including cargo type, truck value, driver history, annual mileage, and operating radius. Owner-operators typically see rates starting from a few thousand dollars annually, while larger fleets are priced on aggregate exposure. Soma shops your risk across hundreds of carriers to deliver the most competitive rate available for your specific profile.

Yes. Florida requires commercial trucks to carry minimum liability insurance, and federally regulated carriers must meet FMCSA minimum coverage limits — typically $750,000 to $5 million depending on cargo type. Soma handles all DOT and FMCSA filing requirements on your behalf, ensuring your operating authority stays active and fully compliant with both federal and Florida state regulations.

Yes — this is one of Soma's core strengths. We specialize in placing coverage for new DOT authorities, owner-operators with MVR issues, drivers with prior accidents, and fleets hauling high-risk commodities. Through our relationships with carriers like Progressive, Kemper, and Ascend, we find programs that standard brokers and direct insurers typically decline without further review.

Motor Truck Cargo insurance covers the freight you're hauling if it's lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. In Florida, most freight brokers and shippers require cargo coverage before assigning loads, with typical minimums of $100,000. Soma can structure cargo limits based on the commodity value you typically haul, ensuring you're covered without overpaying for limits you don't need.

Yes. Soma manages all DOT and FMCSA filing requirements as part of the insurance placement process. This includes MCS-90 endorsements and Form E or BMC-91 filings required to maintain your operating authority. We coordinate directly with carriers and the relevant federal agencies so you can stay focused on your business rather than regulatory paperwork.

Soma's Risk Management Team is built for speed. Most trucking businesses receive a quote within hours of submitting their information, and many are bound with full coverage the same day. We replace the traditional back-and-forth of broker relationships with a streamlined, single-application process that accesses hundreds of carriers simultaneously — eliminating the weeks of waiting that standard brokers require.

For a Florida owner-operator, Soma typically recommends a program that includes primary auto liability, physical damage for the truck, motor truck cargo, and a non-trucking liability policy for when the truck is used outside of dispatch. If you operate under a carrier's authority, we can also structure bobtail coverage. Trailer interchange coverage should be added if you regularly pull non-owned trailers.
