High‑Value Cargo Insurance

High‑Value Cargo Insurance protects freight with elevated financial risk — including electronics, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, machinery, metals, and other high‑value commodities. When you haul freight that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per load, standard cargo limits aren’t enough.
At FleetGuard USA, we help truckers secure the right limits, meet broker and shipper requirements, and protect their business from catastrophic cargo losses.

What Is High‑Value Cargo Insurance?

High‑Value Cargo Insurance provides increased cargo limits and specialized protection for freight that exceeds standard Motor Truck Cargo coverage. While most cargo policies include a $100,000 limit, high‑value freight often requires:
  • $250,000 limits
  • $500,000 limits
  • $1,000,000+ limits for specialized loads
This coverage protects against:
  • Theft
  • Damage during transit
  • Fire
  • Collision
  • Vandalism
  • Reefer malfunction (if applicable)
  • General handling losses
High‑value freight is more attractive to thieves, more sensitive to damage, and more expensive to replace — which is why specialized coverage is required.

How High‑Value Cargo Insurance Differs From Standard Cargo Coverage

Standard Motor Truck Cargo Insurance typically includes:

  • $100,000 limit

  • Basic commodity protection

  • Standard theft and damage coverage

High‑Value Cargo Insurance includes:

  • Higher limits ($250K–$1M+)

  • Stricter underwriting

  • Commodity‑specific protection

  • Enhanced theft safeguards

  • Reefer breakdown options

  • Broader coverage for sensitive freight

In short:
Standard cargo covers everyday freight.
High‑Value Cargo Insurance covers loads that could financially devastate your business if lost.

Why Truckers Need High‑Value Cargo Insurance

High‑value freight comes with higher risk — and brokers, shippers, and contracts often require increased limits before they’ll load your truck.
  • Protects your business from catastrophic cargo losses
  • Meets shipper and broker requirements
  • Covers theft, damage, and reefer malfunction
  • Allows you to haul higher‑paying loads
  • Reduces financial exposure during claims
  • Helps you qualify for premium freight lanes
Without proper limits, a single loss could exceed your policy and leave you responsible for the remaining cost.
