What Are the Key Differences Between Corgi and Harper Commercial Auto Insurance?

Trucking Liability vs. Wider Transportation Coverage

Harper takes one transportation application for freight carriers, trucking companies, passenger transport services and specialized operators, including physical-damage coverage and FMCSA proof-of-insurance documents. Ask Corgi which insurer would issue the trucking policy before comparing forms. [3] [5] [4]

Motor-Carrier Filings Versus Physical Damage

Corgi’s metadata says the trucking form includes an MCS-90 endorsement and required state filings issued at bind. Harper lists commercial auto liability for accidents and third-party injuries in transportation work, plus a separate physical-damage coverage for collision and comprehensive on the units themselves. Harper’s reviewed pages do not describe MCS-90 or bind-time state filings. [3] [5]

Who the Line Is Built For

Corgi frames the product for trucking operators. Harper’s transportation practice names freight carriers, trucking companies, passenger transport, and specialized operators, and it says it can turn around proof of insurance quickly for FMCSA operating-authority needs. Corgi advertises liability limits up to $1 million with SIR options; Harper publishes no dollar limits and says only that coverage should meet limits your contracts accept. [3] [5] [4]

What Should You Confirm in Corgi and Harper Commercial Auto Insurance Quotes?

  • Get the issuing insurer from both: Corgi’s trucking pages do not name one, and Harper describes markets generally without a carrier list. [3] [5]
  • Ask Corgi which limit tier and SIR apply, and ask Harper what physical-damage deductibles sit beside liability. [3] [4]
  • Confirm whether MCS-90 and state filings are included at bind on a Corgi quote, and whether Harper’s placement includes the same motor-carrier filings. [3] [5]
  • Ask Harper how quickly it can produce FMCSA proof for your authority filing, and whether Corgi’s bind-time filings cover the same certificates. [5] [3]

Coverage topics

Corgi

  • role: Corgi's commercial auto liability product for trucking operators is hosted on a separate site, trucking.corgi.insure, distinct from the startup-insurance product pages on corgi.insure that carry CGL, D&O, Cyber and the other startup modules. Site structure as observed on 2026-09-23. The trucking site is a JavaScript-rendered application; the reviewed pages returned only page metadata (title and description) without executing client-side rendering, so no further page content was reviewed.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • coverage: Corgi describes the product as commercial auto liability insurance for trucking operators that includes an MCS-90 endorsement (a federal financial-responsibility filing for motor carriers) and handles required state filings issued at bind. Page metadata for trucking.corgi.insure/insurance/auto-liability; the underlying policy form, named insured requirements and exclusions were not accessible in the reviewed page content.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: Corgi advertises commercial auto liability limits up to $1 million, with self-insured retention (SIR) options. Page metadata only; the specific limit tiers, minimum/maximum SIR amounts and how they vary by fleet were not accessible in the reviewed page content.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: The reviewed page content does not name the insurer or underwriting entity for commercial auto liability; the trucking site's disclosures were not reachable without executing its client-side application. trucking.corgi.insure/insurance/auto-liability as fetched on 2026-09-23. Corgi's main-site disclaimers page names Corgi Insurance Company, Inc. and Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. as underwriters for its startup product lines, but nothing in the reviewed sources ties that disclosure to the separately branded trucking product.not-disclosedSource ↗

Harper

  • role: Harper describes itself as taking one application for a transportation business and calling the insurance companies that write commercial auto for that kind of operation, rather than underwriting the policy itself. Transportation industry page 'Why Harper' section and homepage coverage-list introduction.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • eligibility: Harper says its transportation practice, which includes commercial auto liability, covers freight carriers, trucking companies, passenger transport services and specialized transportation operators. Transportation industry page 'Who this is for' section; general small-business intake elsewhere on the site does not repeat this list.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Harper describes commercial auto liability as coverage for vehicle accidents and third-party injuries during transportation operations, alongside a separate physical-damage coverage for collision and comprehensive damage to the vehicles themselves. Transportation industry page coverage callouts; the homepage separately describes commercial auto with 'coverage limits your contracts accept' rather than published limit amounts.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • services: Harper says it delivers proof-of-insurance documents quickly to support FMCSA operating-authority requirements, and describes explaining commercial auto, cargo coverage and FMCSA requirements in plain terms. Transportation industry page 'Why Harper' section.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: You can request a commercial auto quote through Harper's online intake by selecting the 'Work vehicles (commercial auto)' checkbox, or by using the transportation-specific intake form, along with the business's state and estimated annual revenue.

  • insurer: The reviewed pages do not name the insurer or insurers that would issue a commercial auto policy Harper places; the transportation page describes 'every market' generally without listing carriers.

  • limits: Harper's reviewed pages do not publish commercial auto liability or physical-damage limits and deductibles; the homepage says only that coverage comes with 'limits your contracts accept,' meaning the buyer's own contracts, not a published Harper figure, set the target.
