Auto Liability Insurance

Auto liability insurance is the foundation of every trucking policy — and it’s required by law. Without it, you cannot operate legally under FMCSA or DOT authority. At Truck Insurance USA, we help trucking companies, new ventures, and owner-operators secure the right liability coverage to stay compliant and protected.

What Is Auto Liability Insurance?

This coverage pays for injuries or property damage that your truck causes in an accident. It does not cover your own truck — instead, it protects the public and satisfies federal requirements for trucking operations.

Why It Matters?

Without liability coverage, your trucking authority can be revoked, shippers won’t contract with you, and one accident could bankrupt your business. Liability insurance is more than compliance — it’s financial survival.

FMCSA Requirements

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires minimum liability limits based on the type of freight you haul:

General Freight

$750,000

Oil Transport

$1,000,000

Hazardous Materials

$5,000,000

Household Goods Movers

$300,000

Common Questions

We know truckers often have the same questions about liability coverage. Here are a few answers:

Do I need liability if I’m leased to a carrier?

In most cases, the carrier provides it, but you may still need additional coverage.

What if I drive intrastate only?

States also require liability; limits vary by state.

Can I raise my liability limits?

Yes, many shippers demand higher than federal minimums for contracts.

Does liability cover cargo?

No, cargo requires separate Motor Truck Cargo coverage.
