Change of ownership insurance

“Your rights and duties under this policy may not be transferred without our written consent except in the case of death of an individual named insured.”

“If you die, your rights and duties will be transferred to your legal representative but only while acting within the scope of duties as your legal representative.”

“The first Named Insured shown in the Declarations is authorized to make changes in the terms of this policy with our consent. This policy's terms can be amended or waived only by endorsement issued by us and made a part of this policy.”

“The first Named Insured shown in the Declarations may cancel this policy by mailing or delivering to us advance written notice of cancellation.”

“Throughout this Policy, the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations.”

“If Symbols 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 19 are entered next to a coverage in Item Two of the Declarations, then you have coverage for "autos" that you acquire after the policy period begins of the type described for the remainder of the policy period.”

“We already cover all "autos" that you own for that coverage or it replaces an "auto" you previously owned that had that coverage; and b. You tell us within 30 days after you acquire it that you want us to cover it for that coverage.”

“No, USDOT Numbers are not transferable. For more information about USDOT numbers and changing ownership, legal name or form of business, click here. Operating authorities (MC numbers) are transferable.”

“USDOT numbers are not transferable and are assigned to only one person and remain assigned to that person forever. A person includes an individual, corporation, partnership, or other business organization as authorized by state law. Each separate and distinct person must have separate registration.”

“For corporations, partnerships and other business organizations, the USDOT number will remain the same when there is a change in company officials, address or other demographic information, and the corporation, partnership, or other business organization will continue operations as the same legal person/entity.”

“We will allow a sole proprietor to maintain its USDOT number when it changes its current form of business, and the new entity will continue to operate virtually the same (absent the form of business change) as before the change.”

“New entities must apply for their own operating authority. In corporate purchase transactions involving an entire operation, however, a motor carrier, broker, or freight forwarder may instead choose to transfer its existing operating authority to the new entity as a part of the transaction.”

“Because FMCSA discontinued the operating authority transfer review and approval process described in 49 CFR Part 365, Subpart D, in 2013, these transactions no longer require FMCSA approval prior to completion.”

“FMCSA will record and track an Operating Authority Transfer when the “transfer” is part of a purchase transaction involving an entire operation and the Agency receives adequate notification from both the transferor and transferee documenting the transaction.”

“If the merger or acquisition results in the transferor terminating all of its transportation operations, the transferor should also submit an MCS-150 out of business notification.”

“Transferees will receive a letter in the mail instructing the recipient company to submit:”

“The updated OA information will appear in the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance page and the OA status will be displayed as “Inactive” until the above requirements are met.”

“Applications: View the real-time status of pending items, such as new registrations or legal name changes. You can also withdraw or remove pending applications from this section.”

“Certificates of insurance and surety bonds shall be issued in the full and correct name of the individual, partnership, corporation or other person to whom the certificate, permit, or license is, or is to be, issued.”

“shall not be cancelled or withdrawn until 30 days after written notice has been submitted to the FMCSA at its offices in Washington, DC, on the prescribed form”

“the liability of the retiring insurer or surety under such certificates of insurance or surety bonds shall be considered as having terminated as of the effective date of the replacement certificate of insurance, surety bond or other security”

“The transferee, before operating or permitting the operation of a transferred vehicle on a highway, shall: (a) present to the division the certificate of registration and the certificate of title, properly endorsed;”

“Failure to correct within a reasonable time any representation that becomes incorrect because of changes in circumstances is misrepresentation, not nondisclosure.”
