Or in other words, your policy will only pay what it will cost to replace the equipment on the day you have the loss. <\/p>\n<p>The truck market has been very high in recent years, forcing truck prices higher. If you purchased your equipment when prices were higher, you may find yourself owing more on your loan than the current market value of your truck. We are starting to see a turn in the truck market and it can move on a daily basis. If you bought your truck within the past few years, you need to talk with your agent about gap insurance. <\/p>\n<p>OOIDA can provide you with a gap insurance policy that you can purchase along with your physical damage coverage. If you have a total loss on your equipment because of a collision, the gap coverage will pay off the loan if you find yourself owing more than what your equipment is determined to be worth. Not only will it pay the difference in value, it will pay your physical damage deductible up to $1,000. This ends up a win, win for you.<\/p>\n<p>We are here to help you succeed. So don\u2019t find yourself upside down on a loan. Call one of OOIDA\u2019s expert insurance agents today to discuss your coverage. <\/p>\n<p>You can reach an OOIDA truck insurance agent Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST at 800-715- 9369.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you have an insurance topic you would like to know more about?
