The price of diesel fuel dropped for the sixth straight week, as the U.S. average for the trucking industry’s main fuel fell by 13 cents to $5.138 per gallon and declined at least 11 cents in every region of the country, according to the latest government data.

Diesel is still $1.771 more per gallon than it was a year ago, and gas is 1.033 more than at this time in 2021, according to EIA.

Intermodal freight shipping is when cargo is transported by multiple modes (ship, rail, or truck) without ever leaving its original cargo container. Intermodal trucking involves transporting these containers from shipping ports.

Truckers hauling these containers have special insurance needs and coverage limits that revolve around intermodal transport. Many motor carriers lease their intermodal chassis while owning the tractor; in these instances, the motor carrier is required to purchase a Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement (UIIIA). If a motor carrier tries to enter a rail yard or port without the agreement or endorsement, they are likely to be denied entry.

Don’t risk waiting hours at the port only to be turned away because you don’t have UIIA endorsement.

Work with experienced truck insurance agents who understand Intermodal insurance requirements and the trucking industry as a whole.

USDOT numbers are required for an entity that is authorized by state law to engage in transportation, including an individual, corporation, partnership or other business organization.

Registering provides the government with critical information about a business, including its legal name and trade name, addresses, contact information, type of operation, cargo carried, if the business hauls hazardous materials, and number of vehicles and drivers. It’s what the government uses to track and maintain information about each company’s safety record.

FMCSA requires regular registration updates for entities that: operate commercial vehicles transporting passengers; haul cargo in interstate commerce (meaning crossing state lines); or transport hazardous materials that require a safety permit in intrastate commerce (within the boundaries of one state.)

Not sure when to update or how to do so? Our experienced agents at The Truckers Insurance will handle the entire process for you to avoid penalties and hefty fees.

DOT Week starts today!

One of every four trucks put out of service during the last International Roadcheck was for brake system violations. During its three-day North American safety blitz this spring, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance will again focus on brakes.

Inspectors will ensure the vehicle's brake systems, cargo securement, coupling devices, driveline/driveshaft components, driver's seat, fuel and exhaust systems, frames, lighting devices, steering mechanisms, suspensions, tires, wheels, rims, hubs, and windshield wipers are compliant with regulations.

Inspectors will check the driver's operating credentials, hours-of-service documentation, status in the drug and alcohol clearinghouse, seat belt usage, and for alcohol and/or drug impairment.

This year's International Roadcheck also focuses on cargo securement, which put 10.6% of vehicles out-of-service during the 2022 safety blitz.

CVSA advises drivers to verify proper cargo securement and inspect tiedowns during pre-trip and post-trip inspections as well as periodically during a trip.

During an inspection of cargo securement on a commercial motor vehicle, inspectors will:

Ensure spare tires, loads, cargo, and dunnage are secured and prevented from falling, blowing, spilling, or leaking from the vehicle, or rolling or shifting in transit.

The Truckers Insurance can help ensure you're DOT compliant to avoid additional violations during these inspections. Contact us today!
