When you run a trucking business in Florida, having fast access to your certificate of insurance (COI) can make or break a job. At Terra Insurance Services, we provide same day COIs and complete Florida trucking insurance coverage. We help truckers stay compliant, book loads, and keep their trucks moving.
In this guide, you’ll learn what key trucking filings mean and which insurance coverages you may need. We’ll also break down how Terra handles your paperwork quickly, and what to expect when requesting a same day COI in Florida.
For Florida motor carriers, staying compliant with FMCSA requirements starts with understanding these essential filings and proof-of-insurance documents.
Proof that your insurer has filed your liability coverage with the FMCSA. This filing applies to interstate carriers and verifies that your Florida trucking business meets minimum federal financial responsibility requirements.
Attached to your liability policy, this endorsement ensures your insurer pays certain public liability claims to meet federal minimums. It will cover losses even if they fall outside normal policy terms. Note that it’s not a separate policy, it’s an endorsement tied to your liability coverage.
Issued by the FMCSA to identify carriers and monitor compliance. If your truck exceeds federal weight thresholds or operates interstate, you need one. For details on registration and federal operating authority, visit the FMCSA Registration Portal.
Required for for-hire carriers in interstate commerce. Before your authority becomes active, the FMCSA must accept insurance filings, such as the BMC-91X and MCS-90.
A COI is a document listing your coverage, limits, and effective dates. Many Florida brokers, shippers, and warehouses require proof before you haul. Terra provides same day COIs, so you never miss a load because of paperwork delays.
We know that every Florida motor carrier has different insurance needs. However, most will require a few key coverages to stay protected and meet shipper or broker requirements.
