The transporter of
freight and commodities
assumes responsibility for the cargo he has taken control of. The amount of that
responsibility should be clearly established and understood by both the shipper
and the transporter before the shipment is moved. This is usually done by
contract, by bill of lading, disclosure or by published tariffs
Motor Truck Cargo
insurance protects the transporter for his responsibility in the event of
damaged or lost freight. The policy is purchased with a maximum load limit
per vehicle.
This insurance policy,
without question, requires careful thought and evaluation prior to purchasing.
In addition, you need to be constantly evaluating the nature of your freight to
make sure the coverage meets the demands.
