Intrastate Cover for the Trucking Industry.
​
Intrastate cover offers specialized insurance solutions for trucking businesses operating within a single state. This insurance provides protection against unique challenges faced by intrastate truckers and safeguards businesses from potential liabilities.
Specific Requirements
The intrastate trucking industry faces regulatory challenges that are unique from other types of transportation. Intrastate cover helps trucking businesses comply with state requirements.
Mandatory Inspections
States have mandatory inspection programs for intrastate trucks. Without proper insurance, trucking businesses can face substantial fines.
Inspection Stations
DOT officers conduct roadside inspections and check for insurance. Failing to comply with state regulations can result in significant penalties and liability.
The Importance of Intrastate Cover
​
By choosing intrastate cover, trucking businesses can safely operate within a single state without worrying about the risks and liabilities associated with inter-state transportation. This type of insurance provides specialized coverage that is tailored to meet the unique needs of intrastate trucking businesses.
Which Do You Need? Intra or Inter?
It really just comes down to whether or not you’ll be operating out of the state you call home. Even if you stay within state lines, if your shipment’s final destination is beyond borders you may still be required to have interstate insurance.
Money can certainly be saved if you’re 100% sure all of your operations will be conducted in an intrastate setting, but it’s important to frequently check requirements, as things do change. FreightWaves will keep you informed!
