Oregon Truck Insurance

Oregon trucks handle timber, agriculture and Port of Portland freight, often over mountain passes. Oregon also has its own weight-mile tax that out-of-state carriers need to plan for.

Most brokers and shippers ask for $1,000,000 liability and $100,000 cargo. Oregon requires a weight-mile tax account for trucks over 26,000 lbs operating in the state.
