What is the penalty for a non current (i.e. expired) or missing proof of trailer insurance if inspected?
Is it a federal standard or are states fining or giving psp/csa points individually?

We have proof of insurance on each trailer, along with a copy of registration which does not expire. But our trailers insurance is annual, expires on Oct 1 and insurance cards replaced before that date hopefully. I don't know if the proof of insurance is required to be physically present on the unit, to be shown on demand or if it's simply our company's policy.
My concern is if it's a regulation and I as operator am in violation what is the penalty as far as points on psp/csa or fine amount. -
wis bang Thanks this.

Trlrs are registered out of W VA.
Insurance is out of Connecticut.
I've assumed that since all of our trailers have a proof of insurance attached, and replaced annually, that it was a state or federal requirement and not a insurance company's stipulation.
I'm curious as to the penalty for not having proof of Insurance if demanded during a DOT inspection?
