Routeway360 Advantage
What Insurance Do Bimbo Bakeries Distributors Need?
1. Commercial Auto Insurance
Covers your delivery vehicle in case of accidents, theft, or damage while you are on your Bimbo route.
Commercial auto insurance is required by Bimbo Bakeries (BBU) as part of your independent distributor agreement. Without it, you cannot operate your route or maintain compliance with your depot requirements. Our policies are accepted by BBU depot managers and brand representatives across the country.
Estimated Range:
2. Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Covers your general liability and business property — including handheld scanners, warehouse inventory, and route equipment.
A BOP protects you when a slip-and-fall happens at a retail location you service, or when your business equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged. Many of our Bimbo distributor clients bundle their BOP with their commercial auto policy for maximum savings on their overall insurance cost.
Estimated Range:
3. Umbrella or Excess Liability (Optional but Recommended)
Adds an extra layer of protection if your base policy limits are exceeded in a serious claim.
If you operate a larger BBU territory, multiple routes, or carry higher-value cargo loads, an umbrella policy gives you the peace of mind that one unexpected incident will not put your entire route business at risk.
