Austin, TX · Commercial auto & trucking
Running trucks or business vehicles in Austin means I-35, SH-130, US-183 and Loop 1, local freight hubs and specific underwriting questions. Here is the local picture.
Stop-and-go traffic and tight delivery windows raise collision frequency; carriers often look closely at driver records and dash cameras here.
Frequent spring hailstorms make comprehensive physical damage important for tractors, box trucks and trailers.
Extreme summer heat is hard on tires, brakes and reefer units; reefer breakdown coverage is worth reviewing for temperature-controlled cargo.
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.
Full Texas requirements are on our Texas commercial auto guide.
