new-authorityowner-operator
This is the GetBigRigInsurance blog, run by Vantage Point Risk Partners. We post Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with practical content for new authority truckers and owner operators.
What we cover
We write about:
- New authority insurance (what to know in your first 90 days)
- Owner-op coverage (cargo, physical damage, occupational accident)
- Cost, what to expect to pay and why
- FMCSA filings and compliance
- Brokers and what they actually require
- Renewal strategy and how to lower your premium over time
- Trucking industry news and how it affects your insurance
We don't write about: general business advice that has nothing to do with trucking, lifestyle content, or AI-generated fluff. Every post is built around questions we actually get from new authorities and owner-ops on the phone.
