Please note:
- Federal Filings are required for motor carriers crossing state lines (interstate) and serve as proof of carrying the required coverages based on the operation at a policy level. These are processed through FMCSA.
- State Filings are required for motor carriers within state lines (intrastate) and serve as proof of carrying the required coverages based on the operation at a policy level.
- DMV Reporting is required for confirming coverages at a vehicle level for specific VIN numbers, which may be necessary for plates/registration.
