Understanding Cargo Insurance: What Every Trucker Should Know

Your cargo is the lifeblood of your business — and your customer’s trust. But what happens when that cargo is damaged or stolen? That’s where cargo insurance steps in.

What Cargo Insurance Covers

  • Theft while parked or in transit
  • Damage from accidents, fire, or weather
  • Spoilage of perishable goods
  • Lost freight due to mishandling

What Cargo Insurance Doesn’t Cover

  • Improperly secured loads
  • Illegal goods or contraband
  • Driver negligence (like leaving a truck unlocked)

Why Cargo Insurance Matters

Without coverage, trucking companies may be responsible for paying the full value of lost or damaged goods — an expense that could cripple your business.
