Trucking insurance · AlbertaAlberta trucking insurance from a broker who knows the business.
I'm Sukhman Buttar, a commercial broker licensed in Alberta. I insure Calgary and Edmonton carriers running Alberta lanes, Western Canada, and cross-border into the US, with the liability structure, cargo limits, and filings your contracts demand.
Alberta rates reward carriers who run clean.
Alberta's private auto market means your trucking premium follows your record, your radius, and how your file is presented. A sloppy submission gets a sloppy price. I package Alberta carriers the way underwriters want to see them: clean driver schedules, documented safety practices, loss runs that tell the right story. Then I shop it.
If you have not shopped your Alberta trucking insurance in years, it is worth a second look.
Built for this risk, not pulled off a shelf.
Primary auto liability
$1M and $2M limits structured for Alberta and cross-border operations, with the filings to prove it.
Cargo insurance
Limits matched to what you haul: general freight, reefer, flatbed, oilfield equipment.
Physical damage
Tractors and trailers scheduled by VIN, including stated-amount options.
Non-trucking liability / bobtail
Coverage for owner-operators between dispatches, the gap standard policies love to leave open.
Cross-border filings
The paperwork US shippers and brokers ask for, handled before it becomes a problem at the dock.
New venture programs
New authorities and first-time owners are welcome here. I know which markets will actually quote them.
Placed through Aaxel, shopped across markets.
I arrange coverage through Aaxel Insurance Brokers Ltd., an independent Ontario brokerage based in Mississauga. Independent means the file goes to multiple markets, not one company's shelf.
You get one broker who knows your operation, backed by a brokerage with real underwriter relationships, in-house claims support, and the volume to get files looked at properly.
Markets I shop for you.
From first call to covered.
Tell me about the operation
Units, drivers, property, revenue. The real picture, not the renewal summary.
I package the file
Clean schedules, documented safety practices, loss runs that tell the right story.
Markets compete
I take it to multiple markets through Aaxel and let them fight over it.
You get straight options
Clear numbers side by side, with my read on which one actually fits.
I stay on the file
Certificates, claims, renewals. I do not disappear after the policy is issued.
Trucking insurance for Calgary, Edmonton, and the QEII corridor
I work with carriers based in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Lethbridge, running lanes across Alberta, Western Canada, and cross-border into the US. Winter driving, long prairie radiuses, and oilfield equipment are part of the everyday conversation here, not edge cases.
The trucking renewal checklist.
Two pages. Everything underwriters ask for at renewal, in the order they ask for it. Fill it out once and your next renewal gets easier, and cheaper to shop.
- Unit schedules, VIN lists, and radius declarations.
- Driver lists, abstracts, and hiring standards.
- Loss runs, cargo limits, and filing requirements.
Done. Here is your checklist.
Questions I hear a lot.
How is Alberta trucking insurance different from Ontario?
Alberta runs a private auto market, so your premium follows your driving record, your radius, and how the submission is packaged. Presentation matters more here, which is exactly what a broker controls.
Can you handle cross-border filings for US runs?
Yes. I structure the liability limits and cargo coverage US shippers expect and handle the filings that come with cross-border authority.
I am a new venture. Will anyone quote me?
New authorities get quoted every week. Fewer markets play in that space, so you need a broker who knows which ones do. That is the phone call I make first.
