Trucking Insurance in Texas

Texas moves more freight than any other state. From the I-35 NAFTA corridor to the Permian Basin oil fields, the Lone Star State is built for trucking — and we're built to insure the fleets that run it.

Why Texas Is Different

Largest Trucking Market

Texas has more registered motor carriers than any other state. The competition is fierce, the distances are vast, and the freight volume is enormous. Insurance carriers know this market well — which means more options for Texas fleets, but also more variance in pricing.

Border & NAFTA Corridors

The I-35 corridor from Laredo to Dallas is the busiest freight route in North America. Cross-border operations between the U.S. and Mexico add complexity — customs bonds, cargo liability across jurisdictions, and specialized endorsements. We handle the insurance side of cross-border trucking.

Oil Field & Energy Hauling

The Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale generate massive demand for oilfield trucking — hauling equipment, water, sand, and hazmat. These operations face unique risks: remote locations, heavy loads, and hazardous materials. Standard trucking policies often need endorsements for energy sector work.

Texas Insurance Requirements

RequirementTexas
Minimum auto liability$750,000 (FMCSA standard)
State filingForm E or Form H required with TxDMV
Workers' compensationNot required but strongly recommended
Oversize/overweight permitsTxDMV permits required for heavy loads
Intrastate authorityTxDMV registration for intrastate carriers
Regulatory bodyTexas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV)

Texas is one of the few states where workers' compensation is not mandatory. But operating without it exposes you to direct lawsuits from injured employees with no cap on damages. Most carriers we work with in Texas carry workers' comp regardless of the law.
