    Florida commercial truck insurance requirements

    Florida law follows Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) liability insurance requirements for all interstate truckers. However, trucks that stay within Florida have lower primary liability insurance minimums than trucks that cross state lines.

    For intrastate truckers, the minimum bodily injury and physical damage liability coverage required by the state ranges from $50,000 per occurrence for trucks under 26,000 pounds to $300,000 for trucks over 44,000 pounds.

    Whether you haul within Florida or use it as a home base for nationwide deliveries, Progressive Commercial can help you navigate state and federal laws to get the coverage you need. Start a quote and get your Florida trucking operation protected today.

    How much does Florida commercial truck insurance cost?

    The cost of trucking insurance in Florida depends on a variety of factors, from the type of truck you drive to the cargo you haul. In 2024, the national average monthly cost for new commercial truck insurance with Progressive Commercial ranges from $746 to $954, depending on whether you're a specialty or transport trucker.‡‡

    The following will be considered when calculating your premium:

    U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Authority

    Whether you operate independently or are leased to another company will influence the cost of insurance. Generally, leasing is less expensive than operating under your own USDOT authority.

    Coverage limits

    Most truckers are legally and contractually required to have minimum liability coverage. If you transport home goods, you'll pay less than a trucker who hauls hazardous materials. The more protection you need, the higher your premium will be.

    Type of cargo

    Riskier cargo like heavy equipment and chemicals will need more liability protection in case of accidents, injuries, or spills. Many carriers opt for motor truck cargo insurance to ensure that the goods they haul are covered in case of damage.

    Operating radius

    Interstate truckers who travel outside of Florida will need more risk protection and generally pay higher premiums than a delivery driver who needs truck insurance in Miami or Orlando.

    Type of truck

    We insure all types of trucks, and what you drive plays a role in determining the rate you pay. Keep in mind, federal and state laws generally require higher liability coverage for trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds.

    Driving history

    A clean driving record free of accidents and violations can help you secure a lower insurance rate on your Florida truck insurance.
