Local risks in Kansas City

Frequent spring hailstorms make comprehensive physical damage important for tractors, box trucks and trailers.

Severe spring storms and tornadoes can damage parked fleets; review comprehensive physical damage on every scheduled unit.

Intermodal work often requires trailer interchange coverage and specific limits set in railroad or ramp agreements.

Snow and ice season increases jackknife and rear-end losses; physical damage deductibles and driver winter experience matter.

Federal rules for interstate carriers

If you haul for hire across state lines, FMCSA requires at least $750,000 of liability for general freight in vehicles of 10,001 lbs or more, $1 million for oil and $5 million for most hazardous materials. Passenger carriers need $1.5 million (15 or fewer seats) or $5 million (16 or more). Your insurer files proof with FMCSA (BMC-91 or BMC-91X) and attaches the MCS-90 endorsement where required.
