Trucking FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about fleet insurance, DOT compliance, and our frictionless quoting process.

How fast can you get my Form E and DOT filings submitted?

Because we have direct binding authority with carriers like Progressive and GEICO, we can generate your Certificate of Insurance (COI) and submit Form E / MCS-90 filings instantly upon binding your policy. We aim to get you dispatched the same day.

What states do you currently write commercial auto policies in?

Barefoot One currently secures aggressive trucking insurance rates for motor carriers headquartered in Alabama, Texas, and Colorado. We cover your operations nationwide as long as your base is in one of these states.

Do you insure new venture trucking companies?

Yes. Many brokers avoid new authorities, but we specialize in them. We help new ventures navigate the FMCSA requirements and find the lowest possible deposit to get your DOT active.

Why do you need my current DEC sheets?

Uploading your Declaration (DEC) sheets allows our underwriters to instantly pull your existing vehicle schedule, driver list, and coverage limits. This skips the long application process and lets us run an apples-to-apples Quote Request immediately.

Do you offer Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail) coverage?

Absolutely. If you are an owner-operator leased to a motor carrier, we provide specialized Bobtail and Physical Damage policies to protect you when you are driving off-dispatch.

What is the fastest way to get a quote?

Fill out the quick 'Text-to-Quote' form on our homepage with your DOT number and cell phone. A licensed agent will immediately pull your FMCSA data and text/call you with options.
