TRUCKERS SECTION


How to Complete the ACORD 137 CA Truckers Section

COVERAGES - The first coverage is LIABILITY. Work this row all the way across to the right, then go down to the next row and work it all the way across to the right. Repeat for each titled row.

Coverage has two columns.

LIABILITY

COVERED AUTO SYMBOLS - Look at the very last block in the Truckers Section. On the far left it is titled "COVERED AUTO SYMBOLS.

These correspond to the check boxes in the Liability Section under Covered Auto Symbols. You will check any and all which apply for this policy.

The options are...

41 - Any Auto - covers all the rest of the symbols

47 - Hired Autos Only - rental cars under short term rental agreement
50 - Non-Owned Autos Only - other peoples's cars used on behave of the insured. An example is a sales person driving her own car.

The check box without a number lets you manuscript your own symbol. Be sure you add a text description or no one other than you will understand what you mean.

LIMITS- check the boxes which describe the coverage limits used in this policy.

CSL means combined single limits. If you  check this box you cannot check the BI EA PER box. You will also only enter a single limit next to the top dollar sign.

Limits which are not combined single limits (CSL) are called split limits. That means you have a limit for Bodily Injury for each person and a aggregate bodily injury limit for each accident regardless of how may persons are injured.

You have a separate limit for Property Damage.

NON-TRUCKERS HIRED / BORROWED

Check with your underwriter on this, but I believe this is referring to Bob-Tail use of the hired trucker vehicle. When the Truckers Hired coverage is added to the policy it covers the hired vehicle for use while it is being used exclusively in the named insured's trucking business and pursuant to operating rights granted to the named insured by a public authority. A truck owner who operates exclusively for hire with other trucking firms may therefore have no need for a truckers policy of his or her own. However, the owner will need to have insurance for non-trucking use, which is commonly called bobtail coverage.

Check the YES box if non-truckers hired / borrowed coverage applies.
