Introduction
When shipping valuable cargo, many companies assume their carrier’s liability coverage is enough. Unfortunately, that’s a costly misunderstanding. Carrier liability is limited and often capped far below the actual value of goods. Freight insurance bridges that gap, protecting businesses against financial loss.
Why Carrier Liability Isn’t Enough
- Limited Coverage: Most carriers cover only cents per pound (e.g., $0.60/lb).
- Exclusions: Natural disasters, theft, and handling errors are often excluded.
- Slow Claims Process: Carriers may dispute or delay payments.
Benefits of Freight Insurance
- Full-Value Protection: Insure up to $15M per load with FreightInsuranceDirect.com.
- Fast Claims & Certificates: Certificates issued in 60 seconds with Click-Quote-Covered speed.
- Peace of Mind: Protects against theft, loss, accidents, and delays.
Who Needs It Most?
- Heavy equipment shippers (turbines, engines, cranes).
- Heavy Haulers, Trucking carriers and Freight Forwarders
- 3PLs and freight brokers who don’t want to risk customer trust.
