Yes, if you opt for the right protection. Pollution coverage is often essential.

IN BRIEF

Bulk transport insurance

Bulk transport (gravel, sand, earth, stones, snow) generates a lot of third-party damage : splashes on vehicles, debris on the road. High liability is essential.

Useful endorsement: coverage for loading and unloading, and warranty for tippers (often damaged by contact with power lines or shafts during tipping).

Can I insure a single truck or a fleet?

Insurers offer flexible solutions for one or more vehicles as part of a fleet.

Can I get a quote without obligation?

Absolutely. Our partner brokers will provide you with free offers with no obligation to subscribe.

What are the main coverages in bulk insurance insurance?

A typical bulk insurance insurance policy in Quebec includes: general civil liability (damage to third parties), commercial property (building, equipment, stock), equipment breakdown, business interruption (income loss after a claim), and depending on the sector, professional liability or cyber-risks. Exact coverage varies by insurer and profile — your partner broker tailors the policy to your operations.

What exclusions should I check before signing?

The most common exclusions in business insurance: intentional acts, normal wear and tear, claims occurring before the policy period, certain catastrophic risks (flood, earthquake — often optional), mobile equipment off-site, and undeclared activities. Always read the exclusion clauses and declare all your operations to avoid claim denial.

Can I bundle my bulk insurance insurance with auto or home?

Yes. Most of our AMF-certified partner brokerage firms offer multi-product bundling. Combining business insurance with auto or home can generate a discount of 10 to 15% on total premiums, plus simplified management (one point of contact, one renewal date). At Assur360, the quote systematically evaluates the bundled option.

How does professional liability (E&O) insurance work?

Professional liability (E&O) covers errors, omissions or negligence committed in the course of your profession, plus legal defence costs. It differs from general liability (which covers bodily or property damage to third parties). Depending on your sector, E&O can be strongly recommended or required by contract (e.g. by clients or professional associations).
