Insurance requirement for Mexico-domiciled motor carriers.

FAQ003:  What insurance and proof of financial responsibility do I need to operate in the U.S.?

Answer:  Mexico domiciled motor carriers with a certificate of registration to operate within the border commercial zones have two options:  (1) obtain daily trip insurance per 49 CFR § 387.31(b)(3) or (2) meet the minimum requirements found in the table in 49 CFR Part 387.  Long-haul operators must meet the minimum requirements in 49 CFR Part 387.

Once you obtain insurance, the original copy of the form showing proof of financial responsibility (per 49 CFR Part 387) from your insurer must be maintained in the vehicle at all times during operations in the United States.
