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