There’s a lot of confusion floating around about how trucking insurance brokers really get paid — and today, we’re here to clear it up.

Recently, we saw a video claiming brokers make 40–50% commission on trucking insurance policies. Let’s get one thing straight: That’s just not true.


Here’s how it actually works:

  • The insurance company — not the broker — sets both the policy price and the commission.

  • By going through a broker, you get service, support, and expertise.

At A. Kuchkarov Insurance, we’ve insured thousands of carriers and fleets. Not once have we seen commissions anywhere close to 40% — not even half that.

If you’re shopping for trucking insurance and want transparency, not confusion, we’re here to give you real breakdowns and real answers.
