Kentucky Truck Insurance Requirements

Kentucky state law requires local truck drivers and new ventures to keep a certain amount of liability insurance. The amount you need depends on the type of freight you carry and where you pull it. If you never leave the state and your truck is more than 10,000 GVW, you must get an intrastate only USDOT Number and be insured up to the following levels:

$1,000,000Liability Insurance (Oil Transport)
$5,000,000Liability Insurance (Hazmat)
$300,000Liability Insurance (Household Goods)
$750,000Liability Insurance (General Freight)
$5,000/vehicle and $5,000/catastropheCargo Insurance (All carriers)

The insurance requirements for truck drivers who do cross state lines are more rigorous. You must meet the above, and you must meet all the DOT truck insurance requirements laid out by the FMCSA. Typical federal liability limits are $750,000 or $1,000,000.

Both Kentucky and the US DOT require certain filings be submitted by your insurance agent. Your agent or insurance company will prepare these filings for you. These forms tell the government that all your semi truck insurance requirements are fulfilled. They must be filed before you can get your authority. Some common forms include:

  • The BMC-94
  • Form MCS-93
  • Form E
  • Form H

Your Business is Unique

You may be a local or long hauler. You might be an owner operator from Lexington hauling produce. Or a manager of a fleet in Lousiville hauling hazardous materials. No two trucking operations are the same, so your insurance policies need to be tailored to you.

Since different truck insurance companies prefer different types of risks, it’s a good idea to shop around and find a company that is competitive with writing insurance for your specific operation. The bottom line is that you want cheap truck insurance without sacrificing coverage.
