Release Date:
Aug 4, 2020
Dallas, TX—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?
