Local risks in Charlotte

Stop-and-go traffic and tight delivery windows raise collision frequency; carriers often look closely at driver records and dash cameras here.

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

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.
