Amazon Relay Truck Insurance: Requirements for Box Trucks

Running Amazon Relay loads with a rented box truck? Navigating insurance requirements can feel like a complex maze, but getting it right is crucial to protect your business and keep you moving. This guide cuts through the confusion, breaking down the essential coverages you need, from the $1 million auto liability Amazon typically demands (which is higher than the FMCSA minimum) to cargo and physical damage insurance that rental companies almost always require. We'll explain terms like 'additional insured' and 'loss payee' and why they matter to protect both you and the rental company's assets. Plus, get straight talk on general liability and whether you need workers' comp. Don't risk costly coverage gaps; learn practical tips like working with a specialized trucking insurance agent, keeping communications in writing, and always updating your physical damage coverage. Stay ahead of changing rules, including Amazon Relay's new 6-month authority requirement for new ventures, to ensure you're always compliant and protected on the road.
