Delaware Truck Insurance Requirements

Delaware state law asks local truckers and new ventures to keep a minimum amount of liability insurance. The amount you need is determined by what freight you haul and where you haul it. You must maintain a minium level of insurance:

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

The insurance requirements for truck drivers who leave the state are more extensive. In addition to the above, you must meet all the DOT truck insurance requirements recommended by the federal government. Most federal liability limits are between $750,000 and $1,000,000.

Both Delaware 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
