Navigate Intermodal Insurance with Confidence

At Transnational Insurance Co., we understand that intermodal trucking requires a unique blend of expertise and coverage. For motor carriers hauling containers to ports and rail yards, UIIA-compliant insurance isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. Without proper intermodal insurance in place, especially under the Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement (UIIA), carriers may be denied entry into key logistics hubs.

Whether you’re an independent operator or managing a growing fleet, our team ensures you’re fully covered to operate seamlessly and legally in the intermodal space.

What Is Intermodal Insurance and Why Is It Required?

Intermodal transportation involves moving freight using multiple modes of transportation—typically trucks, rail, and ship—without handling the actual cargo when changing modes. This creates complex risks, especially when leasing containers and chassis from third parties.

To mitigate these risks and remain compliant with the UIIA, carriers need specialized insurance, which includes:

  • Hired and Non-Owned Auto Coverage – Required when leasing equipment like chassis.

  • Trailer Interchange Insurance – Protects non-owned trailers under an interchange agreement.

  • UIIA Filing – Ensures compliance with industry standards and access to intermodal facilities.

  • $1,000,000 Commercial Auto Liability Insurance
