Nevada trucking bill doubles liability minimum to $1.5 million
The proposed law would apply to intrastate freight carriers hauling loads over 26,000 pounds, including common and contract carriers regulated by the Nevada Transportation Authority and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Opponents, including the Nevada Trucking Association and the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA), argue the bill could lead to higher premiums, reduced competition, and difficulty securing insurance coverage.
