What you need depends on your authority, your cargo, and whether you stay inside Indiana or cross state lines.
Indianapolis sits at the crossroads of American freight, so many Indiana operators run interstate — which means FMCSA filings. If you haul only inside Indiana, state authority and filings apply instead. We set you up correctly either way so a filing gap doesn't stop dispatch.
Indiana and federal FMCSA rules can both apply. A USDOT number is an identifier, not coverage. What matters is for-hire vs. private, interstate vs. intrastate, and what you haul.
Requirements vary by weight, cargo, and authority type, and rules change. We confirm your exact Indiana and FMCSA requirements before you bind — this page is general information, not a compliance determination.

Start My Quote →It depends on intrastate vs. interstate. Interstate for-hire carriers of general freight must meet the FMCSA minimum of $750,000 liability (BMC-91/91X + MCS-90). Indiana intrastate for-hire carriers must carry at least $300,000 BIPD under state (IDOI/INDOT) requirements. Many brokers and shippers require $1,000,000+ regardless of the legal minimum.
Usually yes. Interstate carriers file BMC-91 or BMC-91X with FMCSA. Indiana intrastate for-hire property carriers file Form IOA-1 with the Indiana DOR Motor Carrier Services, paired with a Form E insurance filing from your insurer — both must be in place together. We handle these filings so your authority stays active.
