A trucking term that means the driving of a tractor-trailer that is empty, usually on the return trip from delivering goods. A special trucking endorsement, Truckers Insurance for Nontrucking Use, may be necessary when deadheading.

When a truck/tractor is operating with a trailer or semitrailer, but without a load, it is “deadheading.” In this situation, the load has been delivered and the truck is not being used for trucking purposes. Often the truck owner/ operator is using the vehicle to return home. As such, the truck and trailer are not transporting property for the motor carrier it hauls for and under whose liability policy it depends upon when engaged in trucking activities.Deadheading liability then, is part of a business auto policy with the Truckers-Insurance for Non-Trucking Use endorsement.For example, suppose Joe is an owner/operator for Triple Z Motor Freight and he takes a trailer load of auto parts from St. Louis to Kansas City. He unloads the trailer in Kansas City and returns to St. Louis “deadhead.” Joe is covered under Triple Z’s trucking liability policy on the way to Kansas City. Coming back to St. Louis, Joe is not engaged in trucking activity and is covered under the Truckers-Insurance for Non-Trucking Use endorsement. (See Bobtail Liability; Truckers Policy).

Garage liability insurance for automobile dealers limits collision coverage to a 50-mile radius of the dealership. Autos driven from further than 50 miles are not covered even within the 50-mile radius. Commonly, however, dealers will regularly trade cars with each other if the automobile a customer wants is not in stock at one dealership but is at another. Driveaway collision coverage deletes the 50-mile limitation and allows for the pickup and delivery of automobiles greater than 50 miles from the dealership. (See Garage Liability).
