Truck Life
Life protection built for the road.
Company drivers, owner-operators, lease operators, hotshot drivers, independent contractors and fleet owners: Truck Life is how Lily helps you build a life-protection strategy around the way trucking actually works, then connects you with a licensed agent.
- No cost
- No obligation
- Licensed agents, not a call center
- Built for your thumb
You protect the equipment because you can’t afford to lose it.
The most important part of the operation is the person behind the wheel. Your income is what keeps the household and the business moving.
A driver isn’t hauling freight just to haul freight.
Tell Lily what you’re hauling for. We’ll help you build your Truck Life Protection Profile around it.
Eight quick taps. No typing yet.
Answer what you like and skip the rest. At the end Lily reflects it back and lists what’s worth discussing with a licensed agent.
Let’s start with how you run. Anything you’d rather cover with a licensed agent, skip.
Life insurance has to travel with you.
Carriers change. Jobs change. You go owner-operator or get your own authority. Employer coverage usually ends when the job does. A personally owned policy can stay yours through all of it, subject to its own terms.
- Changing carriers or jobs
- Becoming an owner-operator or getting your own authority
- Irregular or mileage-based income
- Weeks away from home
- Employer coverage that ends with the job
- Few traditional retirement benefits
- Business obligations that follow the owner-operator
- Coverage that needs to travel with the driver
A company driver and an owner-operator are not protecting the same things.
Open yours. Lily starts your profile with the right questions.
Company driver
Your carrier’s benefits may not be your whole plan.
- Family income
- Mortgage
- Debts
- Employer coverage gaps
- Portability when you change carriers
- Retirement outside employer benefits

When you own the truck, you are the business.
- Family income

- Long-term savings
Lease operator
The lease follows you. So should protection.

Hotshot driver
Independent, fast-moving, fully exposed.

Fleet owner

- Family protection
- Business continuity
- Key-person considerations
- Debt
- Ownership transition
- Legacy
Your ability to drive is your ability to earn.
Death isn’t the only event that can put a household or a business in a financial hole. Some life insurance policies include living-benefit riders that may allow access to part of the death benefit if a qualifying terminal, chronic or critical illness occurs.
- These are policy-specific features, not part of every policy
- Limits, charges and qualifying definitions vary by carrier
- Life insurance is not disability insurance
- A licensed agent can tell you what a specific policy actually includes
Truck Life is a strategy, not one product.
A licensed agent may talk through any of these depending on what you’re hauling for.
Term life
Affordable protection for a defined period.
- Income replacement
- Mortgage
- Kids
- Debts
- Larger coverage needs
Whole / permanent life
Coverage designed to last a lifetime.
- Lifetime protection
- Final expenses
- Legacy
- Permanent coverage needs
- Cash value, depending on the product
Indexed universal life
Permanent coverage with cash-value potential.
- Permanent life insurance
- Cash-value accumulation potential
- Flexible premiums where allowed
- Long-term planning
- Legacy
Not sure which direction makes sense? That’s what Lily is for.
Want life protection that can also build cash value?
Indexed universal life is life insurance first. Interest may be credited based partly on a market index, without the policy being invested in the market itself. It’s one option some drivers explore for long-term planning; it is not an investment or a guaranteed retirement plan.
- Caps, participation rates, spreads and policy charges apply
- Cash value can rise or fall with credits, charges, loans and withdrawals
- Loans and withdrawals reduce cash value and the death benefit
- A poorly funded or managed policy can lapse
- The crediting floor applies to index crediting only; cash value can still decline after charges
- Tax treatment depends on how the policy is structured and your situation

Important information
Truck Life is a marketing name used to describe life insurance solutions for truck drivers and is not a separate type of insurance policy. Available products, benefits, costs, underwriting requirements, and eligibility vary by insurance carrier and applicant.
Indexed Universal Life insurance involves policy charges, limitations, and risks. Indexed interest is subject to the issuing policy’s terms, including applicable caps, participation rates, spreads, or other limitations, and does not represent direct investment in a market index. Policy loans and withdrawals may reduce cash value and death benefits, may cause a policy to lapse, and may have tax consequences. Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Living-benefit riders, where available, are policy-specific features that may allow access to a portion of the death benefit if a qualifying terminal, chronic or critical illness occurs, subject to the policy’s terms, limits and charges. Not every policy includes them. Life insurance is not disability insurance and does not replace income for every reason a driver might be unable to work.
Lily provides general information and helps connect consumers with licensed insurance professionals. Lily is an automated assistant, not a licensed agent. Your Truck Life Profile organizes the conversation; it is not an insurance recommendation. Individual insurance recommendations and policy-specific information should be obtained from a licensed insurance professional.
