Truck Insurance Requirements in California

California state law and the FMCSA require local truck drivers to maintain a minimum amount of liability insurance. The amount of coverage you need depends on a number of factors, including the type of truck ownership, type of cargo you haul, and the operating radius.

Businesses that own and manage their own trucks are required to have primary liability. Leased owner-operators, on the other hand, should consider getting non-trucking liability, damage truck insurance, and bobtail coverage. If your trucks are in excess of 10,000 GVW and don’t cross state lines, you are required to get a CA Intrastate ID Number (T#), and carry minimum liability insurance (depending on the type of freight) as follows:

• $300,000 - for household goods
• $750,000 - for general freight
• $1,000,000 - for oil transport
• $5,000,000 - for hazmat
• $20,000 per vehicle, per catastrophe - for Intrastate contract carriers and household goods movers

If your truck drivers go through multiple states, then you can expect stricter insurance requirements. Generally, you must satisfy the minimum liability insurance requirements mentioned above, as well as the FMCSA semi-truck insurance requirements, with typical federal liability limits of $750,000 or $1,000,000.

In addition, we will fill out the insurance forms are required by the state of California and the USDOT on your behalf. These forms provide proof to the government that all the requirements for DOT truck insurance have been met. They include:

• Form H
• MCP-65
• Form MCS-90
• The BMC-91
