Commercial Trucking Insurance in Louisiana placed with the carriers that matter.
From the Port of New Orleans and the lower Mississippi River terminals to the I-10 run across the south of the state, we place coverage for Louisiana fleet owners with A-rated markets most brokers can't reach.
In short
Road Ready Insurance is a Boca Raton–based commercial trucking insurance broker serving Louisiana, placing liability, physical damage, motor truck cargo, and specialty coverage for owner-operators and fleets moving port, petrochemical, and long-haul freight. We access 120+ carriers, including premium A-rated markets, and handle claims with an in-house licensed adjuster.
Louisiana's freight economy runs on the lower Mississippi River. The Port of New Orleans, the Port of South Louisiana, and the Port of Greater Baton Rouge together move an enormous share of the nation's grain exports, containers, and bulk cargo, feeding constant drayage and regional trucking. That port-and-petrochemical mix creates a risk profile most generalist agencies simply don't understand.
I-10 carries east–west long-haul traffic across the bottom of the state, while I-12, I-20, and I-49 tie the ports to inland Louisiana and the broader Gulf region. Oil, gas, and chemical hauling add specialized exposure on top of standard freight. We know which carriers actually want Louisiana trucking risk and how to build a submission that gets a real fleet placed with the right market instead of the fastest one.
Louisiana freight
Where your trucks actually run.
- The Port of New Orleans and lower Mississippi River terminals
- The Port of Greater Baton Rouge and inland barge-to-truck freight
- The I-10 east–west corridor across South Louisiana
- Petrochemical and oil-and-gas hauling along the river corridor
Filings & requirements
What it takes to run legal in Louisiana.
- Interstate carriers operate under FMCSA authority (USDOT number and, where applicable, MC number) with federal insurance filings such as the BMC-91/91X.
- Intrastate Louisiana carriers register with the Louisiana Public Service Commission and must meet Louisiana's intrastate financial-responsibility requirements.
- Coverage limits and filings depend on what you haul and where — we confirm the right filings for your operation before you bind.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. We confirm the exact filings and limits your operation needs before you bind.

Why Road Ready in Louisiana
The difference is how we place it.
Access to premium A-rated carriers most small brokers can't represent, so a clean Louisiana port fleet gets priced like one.
In-house licensed claims adjuster: when something happens on I-10 or at the port, you talk to someone who knows your policy and your carrier.
Named agents who understand drayage and trailer-interchange exposure — not an out-of-state call center learning Louisiana trucking on your renewal.
