ISO class codes that govern Oilfield Trucking Companies Hired & Non-Owned Auto rating

Underwriters assign Oilfield Trucking Companies a ISO classification before any premium calculation. The assigned class determines the base loss cost per employee + flat hired-auto factor and constrains which carriers will quote at all.

Should Oilfield Trucking Companies place Hired & Non-Owned Auto as part of a package?

Multi-line bundling for Oilfield Trucking Companies on Hired & Non-Owned Auto works because carriers value premium concentration. The more lines and total premium a single insurer writes for an account, the deeper the credit they can offer on each line.

The mechanic: a 10% multi-line credit on $10K of annual premium saves $1,000 — often more than the broker can find by shopping individual lines. The tradeoff is that all the lines renew on the same carrier, so the broker has one negotiating event per year rather than several.
