It takes underwriting 24-48 hours to issue a new policy after applications have been signed and reviewed. So, once you purchase your policy, you can expect to receive your COI within 2 business days.

Once your policy is issued, your insurance carrier will send proof of insurance to the FMCSA. These filings are called MCS90 or MCS91 filings. This serves as proof of insurance and will in turn activate your authority as long as there are no other pending items.

Your Federal Motor Carrier number (MC#) gives you the authority to cross state lines. In order to operate in interstate traffic, carriers need to obtain both an MC number and a USDOT number. If your base state is California, then you are mandated to obtain an MCP. An MC Permit is proof that a motor carrier has registered their CA # with the DMV.

You can request a COI by calling our office during our regular business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or you can email our CSR at csr@safelineinsurance.com.

If you are running under your own authority, we will need at least 2 years of commercial driving experience in order to offer you insurance. If you are an owner-operator, we can insure you with a new CDL. You can get your authority, too, with at least 2 years of CDL experience. If you are an owner-operator who is leasing onto another carrier, we can insure you with a new CDL.

– Commercial General Liability: a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and a total of $2 million.

– Cargo: a minimum of $100,000 in coverage.

The certificate holder is a person who possesses actual proof of insurance. This person is NOT the policyholder; rather, they are someone who has been given a copy of another’s policy as proof of their insurance.

Additional insureds are those to whom coverage has been extended at a policy level. A certificate holder can also become an additional insured. Additional insureds are not responsible for paying the insurance premium, but as a result, they cannot modify the policy at all. Additional insureds also receive copies of all policy related changes, such as cancellation notices and endorsements.

We will be able to insure you if the DUI is more than five years old. But in some cases, insurance companies will allow you to obtain insurance less than five years after a DUI if you were able to obtain a restricted license.
