Understanding Georgia UIIA Insurance UIIA (Uniform Intermodal Interchange Agreement) is the standard contract that allows motor carriers to use intermodal equipment (containers, chassis) from providers. In Georgia, UIIA compliance is essential for trucking operations at the Port of Savannah, Atlanta rail facilities, and other key locations. Without it, you risk denied access and business interruptions.

Motor carriers in the market for new insurance should check the agent directory for agencies familiar with UIIA. Insurance agencies listed in the insurance agent directory are familiar with UIIA/UIIA Equipment Provider insurance requirements and can assist with insurance submission to the UIIA. We help ensure your policy meets all standards.

Core UIIA Insurance Requirements To activate and maintain UIIA status in Georgia, your trucking insurance must include:

• Auto Liability: $1,000,000 combined single limit (CSL) with UIIA endorsement (UIIE-1, CA 23-17, or TE 23-17B). Covers "any auto," "scheduled and hired," or "all owned and hired."
• Trailer Interchange: $20,000–$35,000 per trailer for physical damage (fire, theft, collision). Required for leased/non-owned equipment.
• Motor Truck Cargo: required by most equipment providers at limits they set; $100,000 is a common ask.
• General Liability: $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate for property damage or injuries.

Some equipment providers require higher limits — check their specific insurance requirements. Our dedicated agents and CSRs (including Spanish-speaking representatives) guide you through compliance and submissions.

The UIIE-1 Explained
 
Under the UIIA, a motor carrier agrees to indemnify equipment providers for specified bodily injury and property damage claims arising from the carrier’s use or maintenance of intermodal equipment and related operations. The UIIE-1 — or an equivalent endorsement like the CA 23 17 or TE 23 17B — is what makes your auto liability insurance respond to that contractual obligation. Georgia’s page already lists all three endorsements; this is why they matter.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What insurance do I need to pull containers in Georgia? UIIA compliance: $1,000,000 auto liability with the UIIE-1 or an equivalent endorsement, $1,000,000 general liability, plus the trailer interchange and cargo limits your equipment providers set. Whether you're running Savannah port drayage or the Atlanta rail ramps, the certificate must be on file and accepted before you interchange.

What's the difference between the UIIE-1, CA 23 17, and TE 23 17B endorsements? They're the approved ways of making your auto liability policy cover the indemnification obligations you take on when you sign the UIIA — which one applies depends on how your policy is written. What matters at the gate is that one of them is on the policy and the certificate shows it; we handle which.

How fast can I get a certificate of insurance? Within five minutes during normal business hours unless a change is required. (850) 389-2001.
