Top Insurance Tips for California Trucking Businesses in 2025
Navigating Trucking Insurance in 2025 – What’s Changed?
The commercial trucking industry is evolving—and so are the risks. As a trucking company or independent operator in California, securing the right insurance in 2025 means more than just meeting minimum requirements. With updated federal compliance, increased freight volume, and shifting liability trends, making the right insurance decision can save you thousands in claims, downtime, and penalties.
At Junniper Insurance Agency, we specialize in box truck, semi truck, trailer, and intermodal insurance tailored to your business needs—offering protection that’s not just legal, but smart.
1. UIIA Compliance is Now More Important Than Ever
If you’re moving intermodal freight, your insurance must meet UIIA standards. That includes specific coverage limits for trailer interchange, auto liability ($1M), and general liability. Failing to meet these standards can delay access to terminals and cost you business. Junniper Insurance Agency helps you stay UIIA-ready—hassle-free.
2. Insurance Customization Saves You Money
Generic insurance plans often include coverage you don’t need—or miss crucial areas that matter. We create flexible, customized policies based on your routes, cargo type, truck value, and driver history. You only pay for what protects you best.
3. New Fleets and Owner-Operators Are Getting Better Rates
2025 introduces more insurers into the California commercial market. But lower pricing doesn’t always mean better coverage. At Junniper Insurance Agency, we help you compare smartly—matching you with reliable, affordable policies backed by responsive claims support.

California’s regulations are unique. As a locally based agency in Lathrop, we understand the state’s legal climate, risk patterns, and regional transport needs. Junniper Insurance Agency supports you not just as an insurance provider—but as a reliable partner in your business growth.
