Connecticut Truck Insurance Requirements

Connecticut state law requires local truckers and new ventures to keep a minimum amount of liability insurance. The amount you need is determined by the type of freight you haul and where you haul it. If you don’t cross state lines and your truck is over 18,000 GVW, you must get an intrastate only USDOT Number and keep a minimum amount of insurance:

$300,000Liability Insurance (Household Goods)
$750,000Liability Insurance (General Freight)
$1,000,000Liability Insurance (Oil Transport)
$5,000,000Liability Insurance (Hazmat)

The insurance requirements for truck drivers who drive out of their state are more extensive. In addition to the above, you must meet all the DOT truck insurance requirements laid out by the federal government. Most federal liability limits are $750,000 or $1,000,000.

Both Connecticut and the USDOT require certain filings be submitted by your insurance agent. Your insurance agent or insurance company should take care of these filings for you. These forms show the government that all your semi truck insurance requirements are fulfilled. They must be submitted before you can receive your authority. Some common forms include:

  • The BMC-92
  • Form MCS-91
  • Form E

“Qui transtulit sustinet” this means “He Who Transplanted Still Sustains” and coincidentally is the state motto for Connecticut. What does this have to do with Truck Insurance you might ask? Well to be honest, not much.

Although we like to look at ourselves as trans-planters of truck insurance policies. Our job is to put your truck in better soil (better coverage) so that it requires less water (less expensive). Ok, so mixing metaphors is not our strong suit. We admit that. But connecting you with 3 agents that will compete for your business? That’s our bread and butter. We can do that all day long.
