Commercial Truck Insurance in Illinois
iAgency is a licensed commercial trucking insurance agency writing coverage for motor carriers based in Illinois. We work with new authority carriers, owner-operators, and growing fleets — including the carriers other agents turn away because the DOT number is less than a year old.
Chicago's intermodal volume makes Illinois a heavy drayage and container market. Radius classification is the single biggest pricing lever here, and misclassifying local versus intermediate radius is the most common submission error we fix.
Coverage we place for Illinois carriers
Commercial auto liability — the primary coverage federal and state authority requires
Motor truck cargo — protects the freight you are hauling
Physical damage — comprehensive and collision on your tractors and trailers
Trailer interchange — required under most interchange agreements
Non-trucking liability (bobtail) — covers you when running under your own authority off-dispatch
General liability and workers compensation for carriers that need a full program
Filing and limit requirements
Carriers operating interstate must meet the FMCSA financial responsibility minimum, which is $750,000 in auto liability for general freight and higher for hazardous materials. In practice, nearly every broker and shipper contract requires $1,000,000 in auto liability plus $100,000 in cargo, so that is the limit most Illinois carriers actually buy.
Intrastate carriers operating only inside Illinois are governed by state requirements, which differ from the federal standard and change periodically. We confirm the exact filing and limit your operation needs before we quote, so nothing gets missed at binding.

Why carriers choose iAgency
We are a specialist trucking agency, not a generalist agency with a trucking department. Every producer here works commercial auto and cargo all day. That means we know which markets will actually write a new authority, which ones will decline a class, and how to structure a program that survives renewal without a premium shock.
