Soma was built to solve a problem that thousands of trucking businesses face every year — being turned away by standard brokers because their risk profile is too complex, their authority too new, or their commodity too specialized. We assembled a Risk Management Team with deep expertise in commercial trucking insurance, building direct relationships with top-rated carriers including Chubb, Progressive, Kemper, and Ascend. Our team has processed thousands of businesses across every trucking vertical, from single-truck owner-operators to growing regional fleets. We understand the pressure of a new venture launch and work fast to get you covered, compliant, and on the road — because every day without coverage is a day of lost revenue.
A $20 million public liability (commercial auto liability) policy for a trucking operation typically costs significantly more than standard limits and is usually structured as a primary policy plus an umbrella or excess layer. For most trucking ventures, annual premiums for this level of coverage range broadly depending on fleet size, commodity, driving radius, and loss history. Soma can structure and quote the right liability tower for your specific operation quickly.
