Types of Intrastate Truck Filings

Types of federal intrastate truck filings your insurance company may need to submit on your behalf include:

• Form E filings prove that your commercial liability insurance is in compliance with your state's financial responsibility laws.

• Form F filings act as an endorsement to your policy stating that it conforms to your state's laws regarding financial responsibility.

• Form H filings are not available in all states. When this filing is available, however, it provides documentation of sufficient cargo liability insurance.

• Form K filings are needed when you want to cancel a previous state insurance filing. They are submitted to your state agency that regulates motor carriers.

The length of time required to process these documents varies according to the insurance company, but businesses which use automated systems can often provide the necessary filings within 48 hours.

If you need additional information about the necessary intrastate truck filings for your commercial vehicles, contact your insurance agent or your state's commercial driver regulatory agency.
