Avoid Costly Truckers and Motor Carrier Liability Coverage Gaps with the New Edition of IRMI’s The MCS-90 Book
Dallas, TX, August 4, 2020—First published in 2004, The MCS-90 Book from International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), has been a must-read reference for anyone who buys insurance for, sells insurance to, or underwrites insurance on motor carriers, truckers, or other commercial vehicles.
The MCS-90 endorsement is an often misunderstood and litigated endorsement for commercial auto policies mandated by the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. In the completely overhauled new edition of The MCS-90 Book, transportation insurance experts Carl R. Sadler and Larry Rabinovich give authoritative insight into the many pitfalls, coverage traps, underwriting concerns, and claims issues of this seemingly innocuous endorsement.
"In order for insurance and risk management professionals to make the right coverage choices for motor carriers, vehicle fleets, and private carriers, it is important for them to have an in-depth understanding of the MCS-90 endorsement," said Jack P. Gibson, president and CEO of IRMI. "The new edition of this essential guide will help them avoid potentially costly mistakes."
The MCS-90 Book answers questions such as the following.
- Who needs the MCS-90 endorsement?
- What triggers the MCS-90 versus when is it not triggered?
- When is the endorsement primary versus excess?
