Trailer interchange

Pays for damage to a trailer you do not own while you are pulling it under a written interchange agreement.

Requirement

Required by the interchange agreement you sign. The agreement usually names the minimum limit per trailer.

Trailers parked in a row at a freight yard

What it pays for

  • Collision damage to an interchanged trailer
  • Fire, theft, and vandalism to that trailer, on most policies
  • Loss of use charges the trailer's owner bills you, on some policies

What it leaves out

  • Trailers you pull without a written interchange agreement (ask about non-owned trailer cover)
  • Your own trailers (that is physical damage)
  • The freight inside

Who needs it

Carriers who swap trailers with other carriers, including intermodal and drop-and-hook work.

Common questions

Is trailer interchange the same as non-owned trailer coverage?

No. Trailer interchange applies only when there is a written interchange agreement. Non-owned trailer physical damage covers trailers you pull without one.
