What Illinois trucking looks like to an underwriter
Chicago is the largest rail and intermodal hub in the country, so Illinois trucking is drayage: container moves between rail ramps, warehouses, and the I-80, I-55, I-57, and I-90 corridors. Trailer interchange and the UIIA agreement come with the territory — pulling a railroad’s or steamship line’s chassis requires the interchange coverage the agreement specifies. Downstate is agriculture, grain, and regional freight.
Cook County litigation and winter weather are the two Illinois-specific pricing factors. Garaging in the collar counties versus the city changes the number.
Illinois filings and requirements
Interstate carriers file BMC-91 with the FMCSA. Intrastate for-hire carriers register with the Illinois Commerce Commission, which sets its own insurance minimums. Intermodal operators also need to meet UIIA insurance requirements — trailer interchange at the required limit, with the interchange parties named — before they can pull equipment.
Common Illinois operations we insure
Intermodal and container drayage in Chicagoland, regional dry van and LTL on the interstates, grain and agricultural hauling downstate, dump trucks and construction hauling around the metro, and owner-operators leased to carriers who need bobtail and physical damage.
