§ 32.13. Cargo liability insurance.

 (a)  A common carrier of property or household goods in use by motor vehicle shall file with the Commission, in addition to the public liability and property damage certificate of insurance required under §  32.12 (relating to property carrier and household goods in use carrier insurance), certificates of insurance in an amount satisfactory to the Commission, but not less than $5,000, to provide payment for loss or damage to cargo carried on a motor vehicle. No motor vehicle may be operated unless the insurance policy or other approved method of protection is in effect at the time of operation. This section may not be modified or abrogated by tariff filings. The Commission may approve another method of cargo protection in specific cases.
