What Oregon requires
These are the state-level rules attached to Oregon intrastate operating authority. A field reading "Not confirmed" means this guide has not confirmed that value. The note explains the gap; unknown is not evidence of absence.
- Cargo minimum
- $10,000 (Oregon intrastate for-hire carriers must have a minimum $10,000 cargo insurance policy on file with CCD, filed by the insurer on Form H (Uniform Proof of Cargo Insurance). The cargo requirement is waived for service limited to commodities not subject to material damage in normal transport (logs, sand/gravel, lumber, water, waste, etc.).)
Who files the proof of insurance
The rows identify stored proof-of-coverage filings. Confirm which filing applies to your authority and who submits it before requesting a form.
Filed by the insurance company with CCD's Insurance and Bond Section; a written binder or fax is accepted for up to 30 days pending the original filing. The permit is not issued until required insurance is on file.
The federal minimums, for contrast
Federal financial-responsibility requirements depend on the operation, vehicle and commodity. Review the rows and exclusions in 49 CFR Part 387 (property carriers 387.303, brokers and freight forwarders 387.307, endorsements 387.15), as displayed on FMCSA's insurance filing requirements page; the filing mechanics live in our BMC-91 and BMC-34 insurance filings guide.

Where insurance fits in the Oregon launch
Coverage sits early in the sequence: the federal filing sequence needs your insurer's proof of coverage on file before authority activates, and the state rules above attach to the credential covered on the Oregon intrastate authority page.
