Seattle, WA · Commercial auto & trucking
Running trucks or business vehicles in Seattle means I-5, I-90, I-405 and SR-99, local freight hubs and specific underwriting questions. Here is the local picture.
Port drayage usually needs a TWIC card for terminal access and may need trailer interchange coverage when you pull a container or chassis you don’t own.
Stop-and-go traffic and tight delivery windows raise collision frequency; carriers often look closely at driver records and dash cameras here.
Snow and ice season increases jackknife and rear-end losses; physical damage deductibles and driver winter experience matter.
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 Washington requirements are on our Washington commercial auto guide.
