Requirements vary by entity and customer program — always confirm your subcontract’s insurance exhibit — but this is the package that clears onboarding across the family of companies:
$1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate with additional insured status for the contracting entity — ongoing and completed operations — primary and non-contributory, with a waiver of subrogation. Endorsements on the policy, not description-box promises.
Statutory workers’ comp in every state your crews touch, with $1M employers liability. Dycom companies run compliance systems that verify comp per state — multi-state route crews need multi-state endorsement, not assumptions.
$1M combined single limit across owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles. Fulfillment work is fleet work — vans per tech, DOT-regulated units on OSP crews, and personal trucks used for work all need to be inside the policy.
$2M–$5M over GL, auto, and employers liability on larger scopes and carrier programs with higher flow-down limits. Following-form, so it inherits the endorsements underneath.
Boring, trenching, and underground scopes increasingly carry pollution requirements — drilling fluid, fuel, and disturbed soil are excluded by GL. Our CPL page covers the details.
The Dycom-specific detail: with 39 legal entities in the family, your certificate must name the exact one on your work order — Prince Telecom, LLC is not Dycom Industries, Inc. Wrong entity is the most common reason certificates bounce. We track the entities and reissue in minutes.
Thirty-nine operating companies, 20,000+ employees, hundreds of field offices — and thousands of subcontractors doing the route work. If your checks come from any of these operations, this page is for you.
Installation and repair routes under fulfillment operations like Prince Telecom — drops, installs, and service calls for major cable and fiber ISPs.
Aerial and underground plant for construction companies like Ervin Cable, TelCom, and Star Construction — boring, trenching, strand, and splicing.
Locate techs and crews supporting UtiliQuest operations — where a mismarked line becomes a liability claim, and E&O questions start appearing in subcontracts.
Splicing crews and restoration subs under operations like Lambert’s Cable Splicing — aerial, underground, and emergency response work.
Tower, small cell, and wireless construction subs supporting Dycom’s wireless service lines.
Electric and gas infrastructure crews under Dycom’s utility segment — where utility-grade insurance specs apply on top of telecom norms.
Every one of these operations flows the same insurance discipline down to its subcontractors — and your certificate must name the exact entity that issues your work orders. If your company appears on a route sheet for any of them, the package on this page applies.
Dycom-company compliance review goes beyond limits — they read your GL forms schedule and reject policies carrying exclusions that gut coverage for telecom construction. In today’s market many contractor policies carry several of these. We audit your schedule of forms before you submit, and place coverage without them:
Two more submission details that stall onboarding: reviewers expect the automatic-status additional insured pair CG 20 38 + CG 20 40 (or the scheduled CG 20 10 + CG 20 37), and crews using a PEO for payroll should be ready to produce the full PEO workers’ comp policy — not just a certificate.
One parent, dozens of legal entities, automated compliance checking — Dycom onboarding punishes generic insurance paperwork. We set your program up for the structure.
We maintain the entity names and issue certificates that match your work order — and when you pick up a second Dycom company, the additional certificate takes minutes, not a re-underwrite.
Carrier programs flow different limits down through Dycom companies. We set your program to the highest requirement you’ll touch, so one package clears every route sheet instead of failing the strictest one.
Workers’ comp endorsed for every state on the route, auto rated for real radius, and renewal certificates issued before expiration — because Dycom compliance systems flag lapses automatically.
Boring and trenching subs get WC class codes that match the work, XCU-clean GL, and pollution liability priced up front — the three things that surprise crews moving from drops to construction.
What crews ask before signing with a Dycom company.
Dycom (NYSE: DY) operates as a family of 39 operating companies, with over 20,000 employees and hundreds of field offices nationwide. Prominent subsidiaries include Prince Telecom (fulfillment), Ervin Cable Construction, TelCom Construction, Star Construction, Lambert's Cable Splicing, Ansco & Associates, Kanaan Communications, and UtiliQuest (utility locating), among the 39 listed on this page. If your work order comes from any of them, your compliance requirements trace back to Dycom's standards.
Your certificate must name the exact legal entity issuing your work orders — a COI naming 'Dycom Industries' when your contract is with Prince Telecom, LLC (or vice versa) is the most common reason certificates bounce in compliance review. If you work for multiple Dycom companies, you need certificates naming each one, with the additional insured endorsements to match. A broker who knows the structure sets this up once and reissues in minutes.
The typical floor is $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate general liability with additional insured status (ongoing and completed operations), primary and non-contributory wording, waivers of subrogation, statutory workers comp with $1M employers liability, and $1M CSL commercial auto. Umbrella requirements of $2M–$5M appear on larger scopes, and underground and boring work increasingly adds pollution liability. Confirm the insurance exhibit in your specific subcontract — requirements vary by entity and customer program.
Yes, indirectly. Dycom companies build for the country's biggest ISPs, and customer-program requirements flow down — a build for one carrier may carry higher auto limits, another may add per-project aggregates. Your insurance program should be set to the highest requirement across the work you take, so one COI package clears every route sheet.
Same day once coverage is bound. With payroll, vehicle, and scope details ready, most crews can be quoted and bound within one business day — and entity-correct certificates issued immediately after. Renewal certificates should go out before expiration; Dycom compliance systems flag lapses automatically.
