Benefits

Why purchase truck gap insurance?

For several months after you buy your truck, it will depreciate faster than you pay down your loan, creating a ‘gap’ between the value of the truck and the loan balance. Gap Protection covers the financial gap between your primary insurance company’s settlement on a total loss or unrecovered theft and the remaining balance of your loan.

Is Gap Insurance Right for You?

As with any insurance plan, gap insurance is a balancing act between risk, reward, and cost. Of course, there is the distinct possibility that you will pay into gap protecting and never use it. But on the other hand, there’s the chance that you could total a relatively new semi-truck or have it stolen and never recovered; depending on your truck’s value and your remaining loan balance, you could end up owing tens of thousands of dollars on a truck that no longer exists. Is this a risk that you can take with your career and your livelihood?

While gap insurance might be considered optional for commuters, it’s much more vital for truckers who rely on their semis for income. No work-from-home option or public transportation is available to help you do your job daily. You need your truck, and if you’re stuck paying out a loan for a truck that’s lost to you, it can feel impossible to afford a new semi to get you back on your feet.
