What is Bobtail Insurance?
Driving the 18-wheeler is known as bobtailing or, more generally, deadheading without the trailer attached. Semi-owner operators who occasionally travel with or without shipping are usually required to have special coverage by their motor carrier, known as Bobtail truck insurance.
Here's what independent big rig drivers need to know about Bobtail truck insurance:
•
Provides liability coverage when you are driving your semi without the trailer- whether or not you are under dispatch
•
Applies when you drive your big rig without its cargo trailer to and from the terminal
•
Applies when you are traveling between loads without the trailer attached
