Log truck & logging insurance in Virginia

Insurance built for Virginia’s third-largest industry.

From Southside to the Blue Ridge, we cover Virginia log haulers, loggers, and timber operations with specialty coverage and claims people who know the work.

Forestry is one of Virginia’s biggest industries

Nearly two-thirds of Virginia — about 16 million acres — is forested, and forestry consistently ranks as the Commonwealth’s third-largest private industry. Logging, trucking, and milling all depend on trucks and equipment moving timber over rural roads from Southside to the mountains.

Longleaf® writes Virginia 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 Virginia — common questions

Do I need log truck insurance to haul timber in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia 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 Virginia 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 Virginia logging contractors usually carry?
Most carry a combination of log truck liability, physical damage, equipment, and general liability, often with excess limits on top.

The fastest path is to find a Longleaf® agent — they will gather your trucks, equipment, and operations and bring back terms.
