Empowering Independent Truck Drivers Through Commercial Trucking Insurance

For generations, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) has stood as a cornerstone for the trucking industry and for professional drivers. Beyond its place as an advocate for truck drivers, OOIDA has emerged as a preeminent provider of cost-effective commercial truck insurance tailored for independent owner-operators.

The inception of OOIDA’s step into truck insurance traces back to the pre-1973 era when small trucking enterprises grappled with overpriced and unreliable insurance options. Recognizing the critical need for fair and reliable coverage, OOIDA responded by establishing its insurance arm, Owner-Operator Services Inc. (OOSI), in the late 1980s. Since its inception, OOSI has grown into a top-tier commercial insurance provider in the United States.

In acknowledgment of the distinctive challenges faced by small trucking operations, OOIDA has crafted insurance policies precisely tailored to meet their specific needs. These meticulously designed insurance plans, administered by seasoned OOSI agents, furnish comprehensive coverage without imposing the financial burdens associated with substantial upfront payments.

Opting for OOIDA’s insurance services goes beyond personal protection; it aligns with a broader mission of advocating for fairer industry practices and regulations. In contrast to profit-focused providers, OOIDA channels insurance revenues back into initiatives geared towards fostering a more equitable trucking industry.

OOIDA’s insurance options encompass an array of needs catering to the diverse needs of owner-operators and leased operators. From personal property coverage to gap insurance and roadside assistance, these plans ensure that truckers have comprehensive protection.

To connect with an OOIDA truck insurance agent, you can reach out Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST, at 800-715-9369. You can also contact an agent through [email protected].
