Waive/Change Requirements for a Motor Carrier

1. Waive/Change Requirements for a Motor Carrier — If your company would like to waive a requirement or accept a lower limit for a particular motor carrier in order to meet your insurance requirements, you would need to click on "Waive/Change Requirements."

The waiver/override screen below displays your current requirements. If you wish to change or waive any of these requirements for this specific motor carrier, follow these steps:

1. If you wish to accept a new limit and/or deductible, you would simply set the Grant Waiver flag to "Yes" and enter the new limit that you will accept for this type of insurance for the individual Motor Carrier.
2. For items shown under Additional Requirements (i.e. addendum, credit approval), simply change the Grant Waiver to "Yes."

Note: If you wish to waive the type of insurance in its entirety, simply set the Grant Waiver flag to “Yes” and enter negative 1 (-1) in the new limit and/or deductible field. ALL WAIVERS/OVERRIDES YOU ENTER WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNLESS YOU COME IN AND REMOVE THIS INFORMATION OR ADVISE THE UIIA OFFICE TO DO SO.

Self-Insured Override — If a motor carrier is self insured for a policy that your company requires and your company approves self insurance on a case-by-case basis, you can accept the Motor Carrier’s self-insured status for the specific coverage by changing the "No" to "Yes" and then clicking "Save."

Risk Retention Override  — If your company has elected not to accept insurance written through a risk-retention group (RRG) but you have elected to approve a specific motor carrier’s risk-retention insurance, you will need to change the "No" to a "Yes" under "RRG Override" across from the policies you have approved the RRG insurance for, and then click "Save."

Note: Base requirements of the UIIA cannot be waived. The base requirements are: $1 million Auto Liability, $1 million General Liability and Addl. Insured on Auto Liability.
