• We DO NOT need separate certificates to be submitted for each Equipment Provider.

UIIA Insurance Renewals - Expiration of Policies

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.

In addition, insurance agents should ensure that the effective date of a policy is concurrent with the expiration date of the policy expiring so that there is no lapse between the expiring and renewal/new policy. (e.g., A policy that expires 2/1/2016 should have a renewal policy with effective date of 2/1/2016, not 2/2/2016.)
