Comprehensive coverage for commercial fleets, trucking operations, and logistics companies. From FMCSA compliance to nuclear verdict defense, we protect your entire operation.

Fleet & Transportation Insurance at a Glance

  • FMCSA minimum coverage: $750K for general freight, $1M for hazmat. BMC-91 surety bond or BMC-34 trust fund filing required for all interstate carriers.
  • Nuclear verdicts dominate trucking risk. Average verdict up 867% over 10 years; $5M–$10M excess liability is now essential, not optional.
  • Florida I-95 and I-75 corridors are among nation's highest cargo theft areas. Motor truck cargo limits must cover typical load values ($100K–$500K+).
  • Fleet discounts kick in at 10 vehicles. Pricing typically $850–$1,400/truck/month depending on driver safety record, claims history, and cargo types.
  • DOT compliance and ELD (Electronic Logging Device) management directly impact insurance rates and your operating authority. Non-compliance triggers FMCSA audit exposure.

Fleet & Transportation Insurance FAQ

What are FMCSA filing requirements for fleet insurance (BMC-91 and BMC-34)?

The FMCSA requires trucking companies to file proof of financial responsibility. BMC-91 is a surety bond from an insurance carrier; BMC-34 is a trust fund account. Minimum coverage varies by commodity (general freight $750K, hazmat $1M, some passenger $5M). We help file the correct form and maintain your insurance proof electronically.

At what fleet size do we qualify for volume discounts?

Most carriers offer fleet discounts starting at 10 vehicles. Discounts increase at 25, 50, 100+ vehicle thresholds. We shop volume pricing and negotiate based on your fleet safety record, driver tenure, and claims history. Fleet pricing typically ranges $850–$1,400/truck/month for comprehensive coverage.

Do we need separate cargo insurance if we carry freight?

Yes. Commercial auto liability covers third-party claims but not your cargo. Motor truck cargo insurance protects the goods you're transporting. Limits are based on typical load value. Hazmat shipments require higher limits and specialized carriers. We ensure your cargo limits match your business risk.

How are nuclear verdicts trending in trucking?

Trucking verdicts have increased dramatically — the average verdict jumped 867% from 2013 to 2023. Florida courts and juries award some of the nation's highest damages in catastrophic injury cases. Excess liability ($5M+) and specialized carriers experienced in trucking are critical. We shop specialized underwriters who understand this trend.
