Concrete contractors on the road in Salinas
20 C-8 concrete contractors are licensed in Salinas (CSLB, September 2026), and 50% operate as corporations or LLCs — entities whose vehicles are normally titled to the business and need commercial auto. Neighboring Monterey County markets: Seaside (9), Monterey (3), Prunedale (2).
Why a personal policy is not enough
Concrete work often involves heavier vehicles than other trades — dump trucks, mixers, pump trucks and equipment trailers. Heavier units can bring different underwriting and, for trucks over certain weights, federal or state motor-carrier filings, so every unit and trailer should be scheduled correctly.
California's private passenger minimums are 30/60/15 (since January 1, 2025); most GCs require $1 million combined single limit on commercial auto.
Checklist
- Consider uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Schedule every truck, van and trailer titled to the business
- Add hired and non-owned auto for rentals and employee cars
- Insure tools in the truck under inland marine

Frequently asked questions
Does my personal auto policy cover my work truck in Salinas?
Usually not if the truck is titled to the business or used mainly for work; personal policies commonly exclude business use.
Does GL cover cracked concrete I poured?
GL is built for bodily injury and property damage to others, not for redoing your own work. Damage your faulty work causes to other property may be covered under completed operations, depending on the policy.
