- This is a hold harmless endorsement that must be made part of the auto liability policy.
- Any one of the below endorsements is acceptable, but the most current version must be used.
- On the ACORD 22 certificate of insurance, the agent must check the box next to the language under the description of operations confirming this endorsement is part of the auto policy.
- All applicable exclusionary endorsements that result in limiting or restricting the policies being provided should be included and noted on the ACORD 101 form when the certificate of insurance is submitted.
- Section F.6. of the UIIA requires that the Motor Carrier’s insurance policies provide a thirty (30) day advance notice of any cancellation of the policy unless the cancellation is a result of non-payment, in which ten (10) days notification is required.

- We DO NOT need separate certificates to be submitted for each Equipment Provider.
The UIIA system is setup to expire insurance policies at 12:01 a.m. of the day of the expiration date which often causes confusion with the Motor Carriers thinking they have coverage until 11:59 p.m. on the expiration date, but in fact the policy expires on the first minute of that day. Therefore, Motor Carriers need to have their insurance agent update their insurance renewals on our website prior to the expiration date.
