What Trucking Insurance Requirements Apply in Nebraska?

Nebraska licensed household-goods carriers must carry at least $750,000 in liability coverage plus $5,000 in cargo coverage, filed on separate Form E and Form H certificates. The Commission’s rules require continuous insurance and a policy in the full legal name on the carrier’s permit, so confirm the filings and annual license renewal before accepting an intrastate move.

What Is Trucking Insurance?

Trucking coverage can address liability, damage to your trucks and cargo losses, but one quote may not include all three. If you haul goods for customers or yourself, compare those protections and check whether the quote needs motor-carrier or other commercial auto coverage. Read the national Trucking guide.

Nebraska Trucking Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Household-goods carrier liability	At least $750,000 ¹
Household-goods cargo insurance	At least $5,000 ¹
Commission insurance filings	Form E liability certificate and Form H cargo certificate; coverage must be continuous ^1,²

What Should You Watch for With Trucking Insurance in Nebraska?

Submit Form E and Form H Separately
Nebraska's rules designate Form E for liability and Form H for cargo, and the Commission says household movers must file both. Ask your insurer to submit each form and verify the Commission has them before you begin an intrastate household-goods move. ^1,²
Check the Household-Mover Minimum
Nebraska sets household-goods carrier liability at no less than $750,000 and cargo coverage at no less than $5,000. Confirm your quote meets both state minimums, then compare cargo protection with the value of the household goods you handle; the filing minimum does not state the full value of every shipment is insured. ¹
Match the Policy to the Permit Holder
Nebraska requires the insurance policy or bond to use the full and correct name shown on the carrier's certificate or permit, including all partners for a partnership. Resolve any DBA, entity, or ownership mismatch before the insurer files the proof. ¹
Keep Coverage Active Through Annual Renewal
Nebraska household-mover licenses last one year and must be renewed before expiration; the Commission says an expired license no longer authorizes service. Its motor-carrier rules also require continuous insurance and 30 days' written notice to the Commission for cancellation, so coordinate renewal and any carrier change with the insurer before the filing lapses. ^2,¹

Which Trucking Insurance Providers Have Nebraska License Records?

No provider in our research has both a state license record and a listing for this coverage line. This does not establish that providers are unlicensed. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm availability with a provider when requesting a quote.

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Nebraska

Reported tax rate. 3% of gross premium charged, less return premiums ^7,^8,^9,¹⁰

Nebraska’s 3% tax applies to gross premium charged less return premium when the risk is Nebraska’s home-state placement; fees paid to the carrier are taxable, while broker-retained or third-party fees are not. A Nebraska-licensed surplus-lines producer ordinarily must complete due diligence, while exempt-commercial-purchaser provisions permit limited exceptions; federal ECP status alone does not erase the disclosure and subsequent written-request conditions for the federal search waiver. Nebraska policies state that its Property and Liability Guaranty Association will not cover surplus-lines claims.

What Should You Ask Before Buying Trucking Insurance in Nebraska?

Is our business licensed as a Nebraska household-goods mover, and when does that license expire?
Will the insurer file separate Form E and Form H certificates under the exact permit-holder name?
Does our liability limit meet Nebraska’s $750,000 household-mover minimum, and is cargo coverage at least $5,000?
Who will confirm continuous insurance and renewal before the Commission receives a cancellation notice or our license expires?
