PUBLIC AND CONTRACT CARRIERS. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) cargo insurance regulations apply to all interstate operators of trucks used as common carriers. They do not apply to contract carriers that haul exclusively for one or more firms and that do not accept business from other sources. When a given operator qualifies under both classifications, it is usually recommended that all insurance be placed through and with one insurance agent.
