How do I request a change to the minimum insurance requirements for my company’s operating authority?

Question:
How do I request a change to the minimum insurance requirements for my company’s operating authority?
Answer:

Before requesting a change to the minimum insurance requirement levels, please ensure your USDOT record is current. Insurance requirements vary based on: Entity type (motor carrier, broker, freight forwarder); entity’s type of operating authority(s); type of cargo transported, and vehicle type(s) operated. Please review the insurance filing requirement chart to confirm the applicable requirement. Then, submit a ticket including the following:

  • USDOT Number
  • MC Number
  • Requested insurance requirement amount
  • Updated MCS-150 Form (if needed)

Requests will be processed within 2 business days provided all required information is included.
