Do truck drivers have to carry liability insurance?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates the amount of insurance a carrier must maintain. For vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds and hauling only non-hazardous materials, minimum liability coverage in the amount of $750,000.00 is required. If hauling hazardous materials, the required minimum liability coverage increases to between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00 depending upon the type of material transported.
