It is vital to stay compliant with state and federal laws. Below are the mandatory insurance requirements for commercial trucks in Florida. I stay up to date with industry standards set by organizations like the Florida Trucking Association.

Florida mandates commercial insurance limits based on the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of your vehicle. If you cross state lines, you must meet the stricter Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements.

Note: Hazardous materials haulers and passenger carriers may have higher limit requirements.

For more information Florida’s commercial truck insurance requirements, you can visit the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).

• Primary Auto Liability: Federally mandated coverage protecting third parties from bodily injury and property damage resulting from your rig. Essential for maintaining active FMCSA operating authority (USDOT/MC), standard policies fulfill Florida state statutory minimums and support $750,000 to $1,000,000+ broker requirement limits.

• Cargo Insurance: This protects the specific freight you transport. If the goods you are hauling are damaged, lost, or stolen during transit, cargo coverage prevents you from facing direct financial claims from shippers or brokers.

• Trailer Interchange Coverage: Physical damage protection (collision, fire, theft) for non-owned trailers hauled under dispatch. A signed, active interchange agreement (such as a UIIA or bilateral carrier contract) is required to activate coverage for intermodal or third-party equipment.

• Non-Owned Trailer Physical Damage: Covers trailers you haul but do not own without requiring a signed interchange agreement—ideal for power-only operators.

  • Note: Typically covers trailers only while attached to your tractor. Motor carriers handling both UIIA interchanges and unagreements/rented trailers often carry both Trailer Interchange and Non-Owned Trailer policies for seamless coverage.

• Personal Injury Protection (PIP / No-Fault): Florida mandates $10,000 in PIP to cover immediate medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. Benefits cover 80% of medical costs (capped at $2,500 without an Emergency Medical Condition diagnosis) and 60% of lost income. Commercial carriers can opt for a wage loss exclusion to reduce premiums if drivers carry Workers’ Compensation.

• Medical Payments Coverage (MedPay): Optional coverage that acts as excess over PIP. MedPay covers the remaining 20% out-of-pocket medical bills, copays, and expenses exceeding PIP limits for drivers and passengers. Commercial limits range from $1,000 to $10,000+ per person without PIP’s lost-wage constraints.

• Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM): Protects driver medical bills, lost wages, and injury claims if hit by an uninsured or underinsured motorist. Florida requires carriers to complete a signed selection/rejection form; non-stacked options provide cost-effective interstate protection.

• Non-Trucking Liability (NTL) vs. Bobtail Insurance: Gap liability protection for leased owner-operators operating off primary carrier dispatch.

  • NTL: Triggered by intent—covers personal, non-business tractor use while completely off-dispatch.

  • Bobtail: Triggered by equipment—covers liability when driving a tractor without a trailer attached, regardless of dispatch status.

• Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA): Protects your business against liability claims involving vehicles you do not own. Hired Auto covers rented or borrowed power units; Non-Owned Auto covers liability when employees or subhaulers use personal vehicles for company business (errands, parts runs).

Looking to reduce your overhead? Here are effective ways to lower your premiums:

• Shop Around: The #1 way to save is to use an independent agent like Colucci Insurance. We compare quotes from multiple providers so you don’t have to.

• Monitor CAB Scores & CSA Compliance: Your Central Analysis Bureau (CAB) score and CSA compliance impacts your rate significantly. Keep maintenance records current and be selective about who you lease to.

• Install Dash Cams: Many carriers offer discounts for dash cams as they help dispute frivolous claims.

• Prioritize Maintenance: Well-maintained vehicles signal lower risk to insurers, often resulting in better rates.

I understand that navigating insurance can be confusing. Here are answers to questions we frequently hear from truckers in Davie.

Costs vary based on the length of your DOT Authority, CAB Scores, your driving history, cargo, and radius of operation. However, in the Davie area:

• Semi Trucks: Owner-operators typically pay between $12,000 and $16,000 per year.

• Box Trucks: Policies generally range from $5,000 to $9,000 per year.

• Auto Haulers: Due to higher cargo values, premiums often start around $14,000 per year.

• Dump Trucks: Local aggregate haulers usually see rates between $6,000 and $11,000.

Yes! While many insurers are hesitant to write policies for new ventures, trucking agent Daniel Colucci has access to markets specifically designed for truckers with New Authority. I can help you get your initial filings in place so you can start hauling and building the history needed for lower rates in the future.

You generally need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) if your vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more, or if you transport hazardous materials through Deltona on regular trips to Kissimmee. You can read the specific classes and requirements on my Florida CDL guide.

To register a commercial truck, you will first need a US DOT Registration. For heavy trucks (over 55,000 lbs), you must also file Form 2290 to pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT). Visit my HVUT information page for details on the tax and IRS form 2290.

Once you have your federal filings, registration is handled locally. You can visit the Broward County Tax Collector located at 1800 NW 66th ave, Plantion FL 33313 to handle your tag and title work. While there are several branch offices, many Davie truckers utilize the nearby office to handle IRP registrations and heavy truck tags.

Yes. If you are entering Port Everglades or any port terminals, you may need specific coverage endorsements, such as UIIA (Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement) coverage. I can add the necessary General Liability and Auto Liability endorsements CA 23-17 to ensure you are cleared for port entry.

Your “radius of operation” is the distance you travel from your garaging address in Davie. Staying within a 200-mile radius (Local/Regional) is often cheaper than “Long Haul” (Unlimited radius). However in urban areas it could be the opposite since your spending 100% of your time in urabanized areas.
