First, your insurance carrier has to send the FMCSA proof of your new insurance policy. This is your MCS90 or MCS91 filing. Assuming you have nothing else pending, FMCSA will then process your application. In a couple of days, your authority will become active!

Yes! MC numbers are a federal identification system for interstate drivers. It goes hand in hand with your USDOT number to make your authority active. However, the MC Permit is a California-specific filing. It proves that you have a CA number, which is necessary to be a motor carrier in California.

SafeLine requires at least 2 years of experience behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle before we can offer insurance. This rule applies if you’re under your own authority. However, if you’re an owner-operator with a new CDL or are leasing to another carrier, we can help you out with our excellent coverage.

If you just got your authority, we can help you out. Just contact us today and one of our agents will help you activate your authority!

At SafeLine Truck Insurance, we’re very familiar with what Amazon requires of its drivers. Here’s what we’ll help you get to set yourself up for success with Amazon: Yes, we’d be happy to help you out. We can set you up with all of the coverage required by Amazon. Amazon requires their drivers to have the following insurance policies:

– Commercial General Liability: a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and a total of $2 million.

– Auto Liability: a minimum of $1 million per occurrence.

– Cargo: a minimum of $100,000 in coverage.

– Workers’ Compensation: a policy for all jurisdictions in which your company operates.

– Employer Liability: a minimum of $100,000 per occurrence.

No, they’re not quite the same. Here are the key differences between the two:

– Additional Insured: this person does have actual insurance at the policy level. They’ll receive a copy of any policy changes that may happen, like a cancellation notice or an endorsement. However, they can’t modify the policy because they are not the primary insured and don’t pay the premium.

– Certificate Holder: this person has proof of insurance but is NOT the policyholder. They simply hold another person’s proof of insurance for safekeeping. A certificate holder can become an additional insured, but they aren’t necessarily insured.

If the DUI is more than five years old, we can definitely insure you. If your DUI is younger than that, then we may be able to find you a good package, but we can’t guarantee it. Sometimes, insurance companies will let you skip that requirement if you have a restricted license, but not always.

Of course! When you ask for a quote from us, we’ll run your motor vehicle report (MVR). Just give us your last name and your driver’s license number and we’ll check it out for you!
