New Mexico Truck Insurance

New Mexico trucks run long desert stretches on I-10, I-25 and I-40, plus oil field work in the Permian Basin. Carriers look at radius and oil field exposure closely.

New Mexico 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. New Mexico charges a weight-distance tax on trucks over 26,000 lbs, which requires its own permit. Intrastate rules vary, so confirm current requirements with the FMCSA and New Mexico's transportation department.
