Indiana: Intrastate Trip Between Two CitiesSUMMARY OF AMICUS BRIEF FILED 5/17/2023 On May 17, 2023, TIDA submitted an amicus brief in support of TIDA member Prime Insurance Company’s petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court in the matter of Prime Ins. Co. v. Wright, SCOTUS Docket No. 22-1006. The Federal Motor Carrier Act requires motor carriers to maintain minimum levels of financial responsibility to satisfy liability “for the transportation of property by motor carrier. . .in the United States between a place in a State and. . .a place in another State.” The trucking industry, including trucking companies and insurance carriers, have historically understood this mandate to apply to a motor carrier engaged in interstate travel—not in intrastate travel. The Seventh Circuit decision in Prime Ins. Co. v. Wright, 57 F.4th 597 (7th Cir. 2023), upon which this petition is based, deviates from that interpretation, creating further division among federal and state jurisdictions regarding the application of financial responsibility regulations. download the amicus brief |
