  • HOW OUR INSURANCE WORKS

    As of Jan 1st 2026 all drivers leased on to a Carrier's MC must be listed on that Carrier's Certificate of Insurance.

    Coverage

    • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Combined Single Limit
    • Motor Truck Cargo
    • Automobile Liability Combined Single Limit

    MC + Commercial Insurance holders: we apologize for the inconvenience, but, with us, you will be able to book loads while while your MC matures. 

    If you have a Commercial Policy without an MC (why?) ditch it and roll with us.

  • [Fleet] Do your drivers have any infractions in the last 5 years that will show up on your Motor Vehicle Record?

  • CMH Insurance Notice

    At Castle Mountain, we charge a flat fee of $350 per week for our insurance coverage. If your Motor Vehicle Record comes back with infractions that cause your premium to exceed the $350/week, then you will need to pay the difference.

  • WARNING: If you aren't willing to drive in the Hotspot area, then we will probably not be a good fit. 

  • IMPORTANT NOTE ON SCHEDULE

    If you live outside of the Hotspot area (see "Lanes" above), we are only taking drivers that can be on a 3+ week rotation (3:Reset). That's three weeks driving before a reset. Reset length is up to you. 

     

    If you live in the Hotpsot Area, we are more flexible with schedule needs, but prefer drivers that can do 2+ weeks (2:Reset) OTR. 

    ​

    We are open to drivers that require a different schedule, but know that we specialize in drivers that want to be OTR in our HOTSPOT region.
