FAQ

Logging insurance in North Carolina — common questions

Is logging insurance in North Carolina 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.

Most carry a combination of log truck liability, physical damage, equipment, and general liability, often with excess limits on top.
