Private carrier insurance filings
Whether you are a motor carrier, broker authority, household goods motor carrier, or freight mover, you must have specific legal documents including truck insurance according to FMCA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). You need federal insurance fillings when you move your goods across the state. This financial proof of responsibility assures the government that your operations are legal and you are carrying adequate commercial truck insurance.
Motor carrier vs. motor private carrier
- Motor carriers: Also known as common carriers are required to carry a permit for transporting hazardous supplies and be comprehensively insured before commencing their operations. They need specific coverage when it comes to trucking insurance as they haul goods for other businesses or motor transport brokers.
- Motor private carrier: Being responsible for carrying and transporting their own produced goods, motor private carriers are exposed to many possibilities while on the move. As they don’t transport goods for other companies they need to make sure that their shipment is in the appropriate condition till it reaches its destination. They require special trucking insurance coverage to carry out their work seamlessly.
