Colorado Truck Insurance for Owner-Operators & Fleets

Colorado carries freight through some of the most demanding terrain in the country — I-70 climbs over Vail Pass and through the Eisenhower Tunnel, while I-25 runs the Front Range through Denver and Colorado Springs, and energy and agricultural hauls cross the Eastern Plains. Fifty Bridges helps Colorado owner-operators and trucking companies get affordable, FMCSA and PUC-compliant commercial truck insurance with same-day quotes.

Colorado Commercial Truck Insurance Requirements

Colorado for-hire motor carriers must meet FMCSA federal requirements for interstate hauls, and separate Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) filings for intrastate authority. Key minimums include:

• Primary Auto Liability: $750,000 minimum for general freight (non-hazmat) under FMCSA; most brokers and shippers require $1,000,000+
• Motor Truck Cargo Insurance: Protects freight on I-70, I-25, and I-76 hauls
• Physical Damage: Collision and comprehensive for tractors and trailers, important given mountain-grade accident exposure
• Bobtail / Non-Trucking Liability: Required for owner-operators leased to a motor carrier
• PUC & Federal Filings: Fifty Bridges handles Form E (PUC) and BMC-91X (FMCSA) filings on your behalf
