What Ohio trucking looks like to an underwriter
Ohio is the crossroads of I-70, I-71, and I-75, within a day’s drive of most of the country’s population. Columbus has grown into a national logistics hub around the Rickenbacker inland port; Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Toledo carry manufacturing, auto-industry, and Great Lakes freight. Most Ohio accounts are regional: dry van, LTL, and dedicated routes within a few hundred miles.
Winter weather and the density of the corridors are the Ohio pricing factors; the state is otherwise one of the more reasonable liability markets in the Midwest.
Ohio filings and requirements
Interstate carriers file BMC-91 with the FMCSA. Intrastate for-hire carriers register with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, which sets its own insurance requirements. Automotive and distribution contracts commonly require $1,000,000 in liability and cargo, with the shipper named on the certificate.
Common Ohio operations we insure
Regional dry van and dedicated routes out of Columbus and Cincinnati, auto-industry and parts freight in the north, intermodal drayage at Rickenbacker, dump trucks and aggregate statewide, box trucks and final-mile delivery in the metros, and owner-operators across the I-70/I-71 corridors.
By operation: dump truck insurance, hotshot insurance, box truck insurance, reefer truck insurance, hazmat trucking insurance, tow truck insurance, nemt insurance, semi truck insurance.
