Log truck & logging insurance in Texas

Insurance built for the East Texas Piney Woods.

Across the 43-county Piney Woods region, we cover Texas log haulers, loggers, and timber operations with specialty coverage and claims people who know the work.

Texas timber runs through the Piney Woods

Texas’s forest industry is concentrated in the 43-county East Texas Piney Woods, where roughly 13 million acres of productive timberland supply sawmills and paper mills across the region. Family landowners hold most of the timberland here, and log trucks and logging equipment cover long East Texas routes to keep mills running.

Longleaf® writes Texas logging contractors, log truck fleets, and timber haulers every day. We understand the routes, the mills, and the contracts, so your coverage and your claims are handled by people who actually know the business.

FAQ

Logging insurance in Texas — common questions

Do I need log truck insurance to haul timber in Texas?
Yes. Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas?
The fastest path is to find a Longleaf® agent — they will gather your trucks, equipment, and operations and bring back terms.
