What Coverage Do FedEx Ground Delivery Contractors Need?
To protect your drivers, trucks, and business as a FedEx contractor, you need the right coverage. Pickup & Delivery is here to provide you with the coverage you need at competitive rates. Essential insurance policies for FedEx Ground contractors include the following.
Non-Trucking Liability
Make sure you are covered whenever you use your vehicles for non-business purposes with non-trucking liability (NTL) coverage. With this policy, we will provide coverage for third party property damage or bodily injury when you use your vehicle for personal reasons. If you happen to run a personal errand in your work vehicle on your way home, NTL will help protect you and your assets in the event of an incident where a standard business liability policy would not.
Premise Liability
Protect contracted employees who may have to navigate dangerous premises with premise liability. If a FedEx contractor is injured on another person’s premises as a result of dangerous environments or obstacles, premise liability coverage can help cover medical costs and legal fees when necessary. Premise liability coverage is often beneficial for truckers who are exposed to risks such as:
Physical Damage
You can get two different forms of physical damage coverage, including comprehensive and collision.
Collision
In the event of an accident, collision insurance from Pickup & Delivery will provide coverage for any damage done to the vehicle you use for FedEx deliveries.
Comprehensive
If your work vehicle is damaged by something other than an accident with another vehicle, comprehensive insurance can provide the coverage you need to finance repairs or replacements. Comprehensive coverage will help you pay for repairs and replacements resulting from incidents such as:
Workers’ Compensation
In the event that a FedEx Ground contracted employee suffers an illness or work-related injury, a workers’ compensation policy can cover lost wages and medical costs. This policy is usually required by state law, and with a sufficient workers’ compensation policy, you can avoid unnecessary legal trouble and cultivate a dedicated workforce.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
Protect yourself and your business against harmful claims from former, current, and potential employees with EPLI from Pickup & Delivery. Even if claims are effectively fraudulent and harmless, dealing with legal processes and associated fees can be costly and time-consuming. With EPLI, you can protect yourself from employee claims involving:
