Commercial Truck Insurance in Charleston, SC

Charleston is one of the fastest-growing container ports on the East Coast. The Port of Charleston runs some of the deepest water on the Southeast coast and continues to add terminal capacity, and with I-26 feeding it, Charleston moves a large and rising volume of containerized freight for the region.

Drayage drivers pulling containers from the Charleston terminals, reefer haulers moving refrigerated cargo, and regional operators running I-26 inland all work a fast-growing port market. NITIC insures Charleston-area truckers with drayage, cargo, and physical damage coverage built around the port's container traffic โ€” plus coastal hurricane exposure.
