FAQ

Logging insurance in Louisiana — common questions

Do I need log truck insurance to haul timber in Louisiana?
Yes. Louisiana requires commercial auto liability to operate log trucks, and mills and landowners typically require proof of coverage and specific limits before you can haul for them. We handle the policy and the filings.
Is logging insurance in Louisiana written on admitted or surplus-lines paper?
Both, depending on your operation. Many logging risks are placed through surplus-lines markets that specialize in timber; we place you with the right market for your size and exposure.
What coverage do Louisiana logging contractors usually carry?
Most carry a combination of log truck liability, physical damage, equipment, and general liability, often with excess limits on top.
How do I get a quote in Louisiana?
The fastest path is to find a Longleaf® agent — they will gather your trucks, equipment, and operations and bring back terms.
