Please note:

  • Federal Filings are required for motor carriers crossing state lines (interstate) and serve as proof of carrying the required coverages based on the operation at a policy level. These are processed through FMCSA. The policy insured name and business garaging address must match the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance details for successful processing. Address and name mismatches will result in delays, and possible rewrite requirements.  
  • State Filings are required for motor carriers within state lines (intrastate) and serve as proof of carrying the required coverages based on the operation at a policy level.
  • DMV Reporting is required for confirming coverages at a vehicle level for specific VIN numbers, which may be necessary for plates/registration.
  • Florida International Registration Plan (IRP) may be required for Florida-bound policies and is not a process/filing type Cover Whale can submit on behalf of the policyholder. Contact information and details for FL IRP can be found following this link.
