The Importance of Adequate Cargo Insurance

Some of the Cargo polices will include:

  • Coverage for unrecoverable freight charges after a loss.
  • Coverage for loss recovery expenses.
  • Coverage for cleanup and pollution removal expenses up to $10,000.
  • Single deductible for Truck, Tractor, Trailer and Cargo. Highest deductible will apply

The policy is purchased with a maximum load limit per vehicle. A commercial cargo insurance policy must be carefully considered before buying. Under-insuring the load can prove catastrophic to you in the event of a claim. If you under-insure your cargo and suffer a loss it can seriously cripple your trucking operation not to mention damaging your relationship with your customer.

What We Offer

Who needs motor truck cargo insurance?

A growing number of risk managers require truckers to insure their cargo. You can meet that requirement with our Motor Truck Cargo Insurance. It pays when you are responsible for damage to or loss of the cargo due to fire, collision or even hitting or running over the cargo that you transport on behalf of a client.
Limits, deductibles, and other details
When you select Motor Truck Cargo insurance, you have to select a limit for your coverage. This limit determines the maximum amount your insurance company will pay for damaged or destroyed cargo. You also need to choose a deductible. A deductible is the amount you agree to pay out of pocket when you have a claim. Choosing a higher deductible is an easy way to lower the price of your insurance, but be sure you choose a deductible that you can afford to pay out of pocket at any time.
