Minnesota Truck Insurance

Minnesota trucks haul grain, food and retail freight through long winters. Cold-weather operations and seasonal weight limits shape how Minnesota fleets run.

Minnesota insurance requirements

Interstate for-hire carriers need a USDOT number, MC authority and a federal liability filing (BMC-91X), with a $750,000 minimum for general freight. Most brokers and shippers ask for $1,000,000 liability and $100,000 cargo. Intrastate rules vary, so confirm current requirements with the FMCSA and Minnesota's transportation department.
