Truck Cargo

Regardless which medium of transportation is used, as long as your business functions include transporting goods and cargo via truck, you will need to have truck cargo insurance. Truck Cargo insurance covers the “transporter” in the event of lost or damaged freight and cargo items. You can choose to cover all of your trucks or you may list specific trucks to be covered under this policy.

 

One of the characteristics that is taken into consideration when deciding on the policy coverage limit is the maximum load limit per vehicle. Other elements that are taken into account when deciding on your coverage limit include your level or risk exposure, your business operations and the type of cargo being transported.

 

Most importantly, as your business grows, you will want to reevaluate and review your policy to make sure that your coverage still meets the demand in the event of a loss. Under-insuring your cargo can result in substantial financial losses, bad enough to end your trucking business.
