Часто задаваемые вопросы
Что такое physical damage insurance для трака?
Physical damage = optional commercial truck coverage (FMCSA НЕ требует, но lender обычно требует если truck financed). Покрывает physical damage к VAS truck от: collision (accident с другим vehicle/object), comprehensive (theft, vandalism, fire, weather, animal strike), towing/labor. НЕ covers cargo (нужен motor truck cargo) или liability (нужен auto liability).
Сколько стоит physical damage для трака?
Annual premium ~3-7% от truck value. Examples: $80K used Cascadia → $2,400-$5,600/год. $150K new tractor → $4,500-$10,500. $200K specialty truck (auto hauler, reefer with reefer unit) → $6,000-$14,000. Deductible options: $1,000 (highest premium) → $5,000 (~25% discount). Bundle с auto liability + cargo + GL для multi-policy discount 10-15%.
Comprehensive vs Collision — нужно ли оба?
Comprehensive: theft, vandalism, fire, weather, animal strikes, glass damage, falling objects. Collision: accident с another vehicle или fixed object, rollover. Recommended: оба, если truck >$50K value. Можно skip comprehensive если truck <$30K и low-theft area. Lender financing typically требует оба до loan paid off.
ACV vs Stated Value vs Agreed Value?
ACV (Actual Cash Value): insurer pays current market value минус depreciation минус deductible. Cheaper premium но lower claim payout. Stated Value: you и insurer agree on value at policy start; claim paid up to that amount (or ACV — whichever less). Agreed Value: full agreed amount paid regardless of depreciation (rare для trucks, common для antiques). Most owner-operators use Stated Value $80K-$120K.
Что такое GAP coverage?
GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) = covers difference между insurance payout (ACV) и loan balance если truck totaled. Common scenario: bought $150K truck, financed $130K, after 1 year owe $115K, but ACV only $100K. Без GAP — owe $15K out-of-pocket после insurance payout. GAP coverage $400-$800/год для new trucks. Critical если low down payment OR long-term loan (60+ months).
Total loss workflow
1) Accident occurs, you call insurance + tow к approved facility. 2) Adjuster inspects truck within 5-10 days. 3) Repair estimate vs ACV calculation. 4) If repair cost >65-75% of ACV — declared total loss. 5) You sign over title к insurance company. 6) Insurance pays you ACV (или Stated Value) минус deductible. 7) Lender paid first (если loan), remainder к you. 8) Total loss timeline: 30-60 days typical. Extended если disputed value.

Deductible optimization strategy?
Math: $1K vs $5K deductible saves ~$500-$1,000/год premium. If no claim filed → saves money. If 1 claim → break even (saved premium offsets higher deductible). If 2+ claims → loses money. Recommendation: $2,500-$5,000 deductible for experienced drivers (5+ years CDL, clean record). $1,000 for newer drivers или high-theft routes. Match deductible к emergency cash reserve.
