Commercial Truck Insurance in Tennessee
iAgency writes commercial trucking insurance for motor carriers domiciled in Tennessee — new authority operations, owner-operators, and growing fleets. We are licensed in all 50 states and place coverage with carriers that actively want trucking business.
Nashville and Memphis anchor two distinct freight economies — Memphis for air and intermodal cargo, Nashville for regional distribution. Tennessee carriers hauling high-value freight out of Memphis typically need cargo limits well above the standard $100,000.
Coverage for Tennessee motor carriers
Commercial auto liability — the coverage your operating authority requires
Motor truck cargo — protects the freight you haul, typically $100,000
Physical damage — comprehensive and collision on tractors and trailers
Trailer interchange — required under most written interchange agreements
Non-trucking liability (bobtail) for leased owner-operators
General liability, workers compensation, and umbrella for full programs
Limits and filings
Interstate carriers must meet the FMCSA financial responsibility minimum: $750,000 in auto liability for general freight, higher for hazardous materials, with a BMC-91X filing on record. In practice broker and shipper contracts require $1,000,000 auto liability plus $100,000 cargo, so that is what most Tennessee carriers actually purchase.
Carriers operating exclusively within Tennessee fall under state intrastate requirements, which differ from the federal standard and are revised periodically. We verify the current requirement for your authority type and operating radius before quoting, so nothing surfaces at binding.
