Additional limits layered over your primary auto and GL.
Bigger contracts, bigger mills, and bigger risk all call for bigger limits than a primary policy alone provides — excess liability is the layer that gets you there.
Excess liability adds an additional layer of limits on top of your primary auto liability and general liability policies. It does not replace either — it sits above them, responding once the underlying primary limits are exhausted by a large claim, and extending your total available protection well beyond what a standalone primary policy provides.
As logging contractors take on larger tracts, bigger mills, and prime contracts with more demanding insurance requirements, primary limits alone often are not enough. A single serious auto accident or third-party injury claim can quickly exceed a $1,000,000 primary limit, and many contracts now specify combined limits in the millions before a contractor can even bid.
Longleaf® places excess liability to follow form over your primary log truck and general liability coverage, so the extra layer responds consistently with the coverage underneath it rather than introducing new gaps or exclusions at the exact moment you need it most.
