Intermodal trucking plays a crucial role in the U.S. supply chain, moving goods between ports, rail yards, and final destinations. But if you’re a trucker or freight carrier working in this space—especially in and around Mississippi’s major transportation hubs—you know that staying compliant with UIIA (Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement) regulations is more than a suggestion—it’s mandatory. At Okee Insurance, we provide specialized UIIA Container Insurance to help you stay covered, compliant, and ready for the road.
🚛 What Is UIIA Insurance and Why Is It Required?
UIIA insurance refers to a set of required coverages that motor carriers must maintain in order to access intermodal facilities. Without the correct policies—and a properly filed UIIA certificate—you could be denied terminal entry, sidelined from valuable contracts, or exposed to significant liability risks.
The UIIA is a national agreement that governs the exchange of containers and equipment between trucking companies and intermodal equipment providers. Whether you’re picking up freight from a port, rail terminal, or inland depot, you must be UIIA-compliant to operate legally and efficiently.
🛡 What Coverages Are Required for UIIA Compliance?
At Okee Insurance, we provide all required coverages to ensure your certificate is accepted by UIIA member facilities:
✅ $1 Million General Liability Insurance – Covers bodily injury and property damage
✅ $1 Million Auto Liability Insurance – Required for owned, scheduled, and hired vehicles
✅ Cargo Insurance – Covers loss or damage to the goods you’re hauling
✅ Trailer Interchange Insurance – Protects non-owned trailers in your care
✅ Workers’ Compensation & Employer’s Liability – May be required depending on your contracts
These aren’t optional coverages—they are the minimums required for UIIA participation. Okee Insurance handles all filings and ensures they’re submitted correctly, so your business stays on the move without compliance headaches.
