ABOUT US


THE LONGLEAF DIFFERENCE

Longleaf Forestry Insurance has written log truck insurance for over 20 years. Logging is an industry that threatens the lives and livelihoods of those who work in it daily. In this risky environment we are one of the only log truck insurance companies who have weathered the storm.

"Many of our competitors write several types of insurance for different industries. We do not."

Our log truck insurance experience allows us to create an insurance policy that matters. The design of our custom log truck insurance policies is to cover the common injuries and damages incurred in this unique industry. In addition to log truck insurance we offer all the other major coverages a logging contractor needs. In total we offer logging insurance policies that provide coverage for Commercial Auto, Commercial General Liability, Commercial Property, Inland Marine, Workers Compensation and Umbrella.
