Map where the equipment goes
A Macon contractor, repair service, or maker may keep tools in a shop one day and move them to a customer site the next. Begin with a list of equipment, serial numbers, current values, and usual locations. Note what stays in a vehicle overnight and what travels with employees or subcontractors.
Ask whether the policy follows the tools
Business property coverage is often tied to a described location. Ask your adviser whether equipment away from the premises needs a separate contractor’s equipment or inland marine form. Compare theft, accidental damage, transit, and off-site storage terms. Confirm any unattended-vehicle conditions and deductible. If customers’ property is in your care, ask about it separately; ownership matters.
Georgia’s insurance office provides a business insurance guide covering property, liability, and commercial vehicle questions. The useful next step is to compare that framework with your actual operations and policy wording, rather than assuming all items in your truck are covered.
Keep a usable equipment schedule
- Photograph major tools and save purchase documents.
- Mark which items are rented, leased, or owned.
- Update the list when you replace or add equipment.
- Report a new line of work or storage location to your adviser.
