To achieve UIIA compliance, motor carriers must meet strict standards. UIIA requires robust insurance to interchange intermodal equipment safely. We guide you through this process, ensuring you avoid downtime at ports and rail yards.

Key Texas UIIA Insurance Requirements Explained

The Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement (UIIA) establishes rules for motor carriers handling intermodal equipment. In Texas, UIIA demands specific insurance protection so you access containers and chassis from equipment providers without issues. The UIIA you sign is an indemnification agreement: you’re promising to make the equipment providers whole for specified injury and damage claims arising from your use or maintenance of their equipment. The UIIE-1 endorsement makes your auto liability policy stand behind that promise — without it or an equivalent, the certificate gets rejected and the gate stays closed.

We secure these essential coverages for you:

• Auto liability insurance – We obtain at least $1,000,000 with UIIA endorsements to cover bodily injury and property damage.
• Trailer interchange coverage – We protect non-owned intermodal equipment against damage from collisions, fire, or theft.
• Cargo insurance – at the limits your equipment providers require — commonly $100,000.
• General liability insurance – We handle off-road claims with $1,000,000 per occurrence.
• Workers compensation – We provide coverage for employee injuries as state laws require.

Our agents submit documents electronically. You gain UIIA compliance quickly and start operations smoothly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Another trucker reviewed: "I recommend them to everyone. 1st Class company. Ciarra responds fantastically. They offer lines others don't. Very efficient."

Follow Our Simple Process to Get Covered

We make quoting easy:

1. You share your DOT number, vehicle details (year, make, model, VIN), and driver information.
2. We compare options from top insurance companies right over the phone.
3. You select the policy, and we protect you immediately.

We add extras like non-trucking liability, physical damage for your trucks, and other insurance coverages when you need them. This approach ensures comprehensive insurance protection for your commercial trucking business.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐One trucker noted: "Craig Barbee and Caleb Jackson form the best team for your insurance needs."

Benefits of Choosing Barbee Jackson for Texas UIIA Insurance

We stand out because we focus on truckers' unique needs. Since 2009, Barbee Jackson Insurance has insured over 1,000 commercial trucks across North America (as of September 2026). Texas intermodal runs through three worlds at once: Port Houston container drayage, the DFW and San Antonio rail ramps, and cross-border intermodal moving through Laredo. Whichever gate you pull from, the UIIA requirement sheet follows the equipment provider — and we build the program to match it. We prioritize customer service above all. Our goal? We find the right insurance protection, priced across the markets that actually want intermodal work — and we support your growth year after year.

Intermodal transportation involves high risks, from busy Texas highways to equipment handling at ports and rail yards. We mitigate these with tailored policies. For instance, we ensure trailer interchange coverage meets the UIIA's and your equipment providers' requirements exactly, preventing costly denials.

We also educate clients on UIIA compliance. The UIIA requires motor carriers to maintain active policies without lapses. We monitor this for you, avoiding suspensions that halt your hauls.

Our independent status lets us access diverse insurance companies. This means more markets, more options, and coverages like physical damage or excess liability when you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What insurance do I need to pull containers in Texas? UIIA compliance: $1,000,000 auto liability with the UIIE-1 or equivalent endorsement, $1,000,000 general liability, plus the trailer interchange and cargo limits your equipment providers set. Whether you're pulling from Port Houston, a DFW or San Antonio rail ramp, or running border intermodal through Laredo, the certificate must be on file and accepted before you interchange.
Who sets my trailer interchange and cargo limits? Each equipment provider you sign with — not the UIIA itself. Two Texas operators pulling from the same gate can have two different requirement sheets. Tell us whose equipment you pull and we'll build to their sheets.
How fast can I get a certificate of insurance? Within five minutes during normal business hours unless a change is required. (850) 389-2001.
