Port of Long Beach Drayage Insurance
UIIA-Compliant Coverage for POLB Drayage Carriers
The Port of Long Beach anchors Southern California container freight through LBCT, ITS, SSA, TTI, and Pacific terminals. From our Los Angeles office at 714 W. Olympic Blvd., Truxsurance supports POLB carriers running the I-710 corridor to Commerce, Vernon, Ontario, Fontana, Riverside, and San Bernardino. We structure UIIA, cargo, trailer interchange, auto liability, CARB, and California DMV filing requirements around the carrier's actual port-to-warehouse operation.
Same-day indications available.

Carrier availability varies by state, operation type, fleet size, and underwriting requirements.
Who This Program Is For
POLB-Specific Underwriting Challenges
This is what underwriters actually look at:
- San Pedro Bay congestion drives accident frequency
- Chassis interchange exposure on every container move
- California Form E filing required for POLB drayage
- CARB-compliant 2010+ tractors required for POLB access
- Clean Truck Program compliance
Most retail agents stop here. We do not.
How We Place POLB Drayage Coverage
We do not just submit applications — we structure them for the way underwriters actually decide.
