Do you handle NYS DOT Article 6 intrastate filings?

Yes. We file the NYS DOT Article 6 paperwork the same business day a policy is bound, in addition to the federal BMC-91 if you carry MC authority.

Can you write NYC last-mile delivery fleets?

Yes. NYC last-mile is one of the hardest classes in the country because of NY Labor Law severity and pedestrian density. We have direct E&S markets that write NYC last-mile with $1M–$5M auto liability.

Do you write Port of NY/NJ drayage?

Yes. We file UIIA Certificates of Insurance with the IANA for every Port of NY/NJ Equipment Provider — Maher, APM, GCT Bayonne, GCT NY, Port Newark, and Red Hook — same business day.

Why is New York trucking insurance so expensive?

Two reasons: NY Labor Law §240/§241 drives the highest claim severity in the country, and NYC pedestrian density drives the highest claim frequency. We work with E&S markets that price the risk fairly and place coverage where standard markets decline.

NYC congestion and pedestrian density drive frequency claims
NYS DOT Article 6 intrastate filings on top of federal MC
Port of NY/NJ drayage volume
Many standard markets decline NY-domiciled risks outright
