Stake Bed Truck Insurance
Stake bed trucks are versatile workhorses for landscapers, nurseries, farms, contractors and produce haulers. Removable stake sides let you haul bulky or loose loads, but they also mean cargo can shift or fall. Pacific Southwest Insurance Services writes commercial insurance for stake bed trucks with liability, physical damage and cargo coverage that fits the way you work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a stake bed truck insured like a pickup or like a big truck?
It depends on the weight and use. A light stake bed may be rated similar to a pickup, while heavier units are rated as medium trucks. We’ll classify it correctly so claims aren’t disputed.
Can I cover the plants or produce I haul?
Yes. Cargo coverage can be added and tailored to perishable goods.
Do I need a Motor Carrier Permit in California?
Commercial vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR generally need an MCP, which requires insurance on file. Check with the California DMV for your vehicle, and we can make the filing.
