Trucking & Commercial Transportation Insurance in Bergen County, NJ

New Jersey is one of the nation's busiest freight corridors, and Bergen County trucking companies and owner-operators face a complex web of federal FMCSA requirements, NJ DOT regulations, and shipper contract mandates. Getting trucking insurance right in Bergen County requires an agent who understands the transportation industry — not just standard commercial auto.

FMCSA Compliance for Bergen County Carriers

Every interstate carrier operating in Bergen County must meet Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) insurance minimums and file the appropriate forms (Form MCS-90) with the DOT. Kevin Brown Insurance Agency works with NJ trucking carriers to ensure full FMCSA compliance and can file required documents directly with federal regulators.

Essential Coverages for Bergen County Trucking Companies

  • Primary Liability: FMCSA-compliant coverage for bodily injury and property damage — minimum $750K for general freight
  • Physical Damage: Collision and comprehensive coverage for your Bergen County fleet
  • Motor Truck Cargo: Coverage for the freight you haul throughout NJ and beyond
  • Bobtail / Non-Trucking Liability: Coverage for owner-operators when driving without a load or dispatch
  • General Liability: Terminal operations, loading/unloading incidents at Bergen County facilities
  • Workers Compensation: NJ-required for all employees — truck drivers have significant injury exposure

Owner-Operator Insurance in Bergen County
