What insurance do I need for drayage at CPKC terminals?

UIIA-compliant coverage is required: $1M Auto Liability CSL, $1M/$2M General Liability, Trailer Interchange, and Motor Truck Cargo. A COI must be filed with the IANA listing CPKC as an Equipment Provider.

Do you cover CPKC drayage at the Laredo cross-border terminal?

Yes. We write UIIA-compliant drayage policies for carriers working the CPKC Laredo international terminal, with COIs filed for the CPKC Equipment Provider. U.S.-side coverage only — Mexico-side operations require separate Mexican auto liability.

How does CPKC differ from BNSF or UP for drayage insurance purposes?

From an insurance standpoint, CPKC is just another UIIA Equipment Provider. The coverage requirements are identical — $1M auto, $1M/$2M GL, trailer interchange, and cargo — with a COI filed with IANA listing CPKC as the Equipment Provider. The unique element is cross-border exposure for carriers working CPKC's Mexico-connected terminals.

CPKC (Canadian Pacific Kansas City) is North America's only single-line railroad connecting Canada, the United States, and Mexico — formed by the 2023 merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern.

U.S. drayage carriers must carry UIIA-compliant coverage to access CPKC intermodal facilities.
