Are You Paying Too Much for Your Truck Insurance?
The Brutal Reality of Truck Ownership Costs in Australia
As a truck owner, you’re likely generating around $160,000 – $220,000 in annual revenue per truck in your fleet.
But the expenses are crushing:
- $80,000 on fuel
- $50,000 on tolls
- $8,000 on registration
- $20,000 on maintenance
- $15,000-$20,000 on insurance
- Plus potential $10,000 in fines…
We can’t help with fuel prices or toll costs – but we CAN significantly reduce what you’re paying for insurance.
That can make the difference between barely breaking even and actually turning a profit.
How Much Should You Really Be Paying?
Every trucking operation is different. Your insurance costs should reflect:
- Your driving history: Drivers with clean records and no demerit points typically qualify for lower premiums, while those with infringements may face higher rates reflecting increased risk.
- The routes you travel: Metropolitan deliveries often attract different rates than regional routes, while interstate and outback journeys crossing multiple territories may require specialised cover reflecting diverse road conditions and distances.
- The cargo you carry: Dangerous goods and high-value freight naturally attract higher premiums due to increased liability and risk, whereas standard freight generally qualifies for more standard rates.
- Your vehicle’s value and specifications: Newer vehicles with advanced safety features can reduce premiums despite higher replacement costs, while specialised rigs for unique cargo may require tailored policies reflecting their specific risk profile.
- Your claims history: A pattern of previous claims signals higher risk to insurers resulting in increased premiums, while demonstrating years of claim-free operation can substantially reduce your insurance costs.
