Do you handle Ohio PUCO intrastate filings?

Yes. We file the PUCO Form E and intrastate authority paperwork with the Ohio PUCO the same business day a policy is bound, in addition to the federal BMC-91 if you carry MC authority.

Can you write higher cargo limits for auto-industry freight?

Yes. Honda, Stellantis, Ford, and tier-1 supplier loads routinely require $250k–$1M cargo limits with shipper-named endorsements. We place those limits regularly.

What about Ohio workers' comp?

Ohio is a monopolistic state for workers' comp — coverage is purchased through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation directly, not through us. We can pair our auto and cargo program with Ohio BWC and place stop-gap employer's liability through the E&S market.

Do you write newer Ohio authorities under 2 years?

Yes. We have E&S markets that write new ventures with the right driver experience and clean MVRs, even when standard markets decline.

Ohio Trucking Underwriting Realities

This is what underwriters actually look at:

I-71 / I-75 / I-80 corridor congestion drives accident frequency
Lake-effect winter weather increases physical damage exposure
PUCO intrastate filings on top of federal MC authority
Auto-industry just-in-time freight raises cargo limits
Some markets restrict newer authorities under 2 years

Most retail agents stop here. We do not.
