Trucking insurance for independent owner-operators, leased operators and fleets, with cargo coverage, optional breakdown protection and mobile policy tools.
Great West is worth examining when the details of your trucking policy matter as much as the premium: cargo terms, leased-on gaps and breakdown expenses all have specific options. Its app and specialist claims service can support a business run from the road. The tradeoff is execution. Older customers describe helpful agents, while later accounts raise billing and service concerns. Before choosing, establish how your agency handles certificates and changes, then compare the actual endorsements and payment terms. Optional bundles and telematics incentives should strengthen the policy you need, not decide the purchase by themselves.

A closer look at Great West Casualty
Getting covered
Start with your lease arrangement, freight and state. Ask the agent to show the proposed coverage for a real load you haul, including who pays if the truck, trailer and cargo are damaged together.

Choice Coverage Plus
Choice Coverage Plus is advertised at $20 per power unit per month. This is an optional endorsement bundle, not the price of the main trucking policy.
The owner-operator page describes Choice Coverage Plus for operations with one to nine units.
The bundle lists up to $5,000 for towing and up to $500 for roadside labor, subject to a $250 per-loss mechanical-breakdown deductible.
The bundle lists replacement-rental reimbursement after a covered breakdown at $200 per day, capped at $1,000.
Choice Coverage Plus offers a reduction up to $1,000 over consecutive loss-free policy periods. A paid physical-damage or cargo loss can reset it at renewal.
InsightDriven
The program advertises $300 per truck annually for camera-based data or $150 for ELD-only data, paid quarterly for eligible units.
Primary liability with an active guaranteed-cost policy is required, with all claims data provided. Large-deductible policies are excluded; payments cover up to 99 units.
InsightDriven requires permission to share compatible device data. Its disclaimer says data supports research and future products and will not affect current pricing or policies; eligibility and state terms apply.
Certificates, claims and safety support
The Great West Mobile app supports certificate requests, policy details and ID cards. The published description does not promise a certificate turnaround time.
The app lists claims tracking, driver and equipment details, and bill viewing and payment.
Great West publishes a dedicated claims line, 800-228-8040, available 24/7 in the US and Canada, with trucking-focused adjusters.
Published services include towing and repair coordination and deductible-recovery assistance when appropriate. Round-the-clock access is not a settlement deadline.
Great West describes on-site safety assistance, training materials and an online learning library for trucking operations.
Payment and renewal arrangements
Depending on the policy, Great West offers reporting based on revenue, mileage or units, as well as installment arrangements.
The payment guide describes small-carrier installment eligibility as nine or fewer units, under $1 million in revenue and fewer than one million miles.
Actual policy and state terms govern renewal, cancellation and return premium. The public disclosures do not give a universal refund formula or notice period.
