"Clarification of FMCSA Insurance Requirements for the Transportation of Internal Combustion Engines."

Recently the US Department of Transportation through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issued an important notice to interstate movers regarding the transportation of internal combustion engines, self-propelled vehicles, mechanical equipment containing internal combustion engines and battery powered vehicles or equipment (automobiles, motorcycles, riding lawn mowers, garden tractors, golf carts, etc.) containing any amount of flammable liquid are required to be classified as a hazardous material carrier that must maintain a minimum $1,000,000 amount of public liability insurance.
It is very important to note this change only affects movers who haul interstate under there own authority. If your interstate shipments are handled through a national van line, it is their responsibility to properly notify the FMCSA of compliance. 

What do you need to do to become compliant?
