Chapter 7
Financial responsibility means having insurance policies or surety bonds sufficient to satisfy the minimum public liability requirements. Public liability means liability for bodily injury, property damage and environmental restoration. Environmental restoration means restitution for the loss, damage or destruction of natural resources arising out of an accidental discharge of toxic or other environmentally harmful materials or liquids.
Motor Carriers of property operating commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce and for hire carriers of passengers operating in interstate/intrastate or foreign commerce must have at least the minimum amount of insurance required by law.
(See Schedule of Limits in this folder for Minimum levels of Financial Responsibly.)
The motor carrier must have proof of the minimum level of insurance at the Company’s principal place of business.
Proof may be shown by any of the following:
MCS-90
Endorsements for Motor Carriers of Property policies of insurance for public liability under Sections 39 and 30 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (Form MCS-90) issued by an insurer.
MCS-82 (Surety Bond)
