Transporting cargo is a huge responsibility as a truck driver and making sure the cargo is delivered safely is essential to the success of your trucking business. But what happens when the transport doesn’t go too smoothly and an accident occurs, leaving you with damaged freight and quite probably a disgruntled buyer/client? The good news is that unfortunate events happen all too frequently and you need to be prepared for the unexpected. We, at Paramount Insurance Agency can get the right trucking cargo insurance for YOUR North Carolina trucking business at an affordable rate.
Delivered As Promised?
Imagine setting out on the open road to transport a significant amount of cargo when you experience a tire blow out causing you to lose control and run into a bridge. As a result, your cargo is completely destroyed and your client will not be getting his highly anticipated goods as promised.
Without cargo insurance or adequate insurance, you could be left with a hefty bill to replace the damaged cargo. Cargo insurance generally pays for costs associated with damaged cargo from covered losses, but it is crucial you have the RIGHT amount of coverage to avoid a crippling financial situation. Being underinsured for the amount/type of load you are hauling means you could be left footing the bill for ALL costs that exceed your cargo insurance payout. Bottom line, you could be jeopardizing your trucking business, business
reputation and exposing your assets to devastation.
What is Cargo Insurance?
Cargo insurance is designed to provide protection for the cargo that you, as the truck driver, are transporting to a specific location. Transporting freight is a huge responsibility that begins once you accept the freight and doesn’t end until it is
delivered. Furthermore, cargo insurance targets protection whether the cargo is yours or for somebody who hired you to transport it.
Having the right type of cargo insurance means that in the above scenario your precious freight would be covered in the collision. Realizing that situations can occur at any given second that could jeopardize the freight in transit is the first step in making sure you have the right cargo insurance in place. Other typical scenarios may include lost or stolen freight or destroyed cargo due to fire. If any of these scenarios happen to you, will you be prepared?
