Ensuring Your Success – Spotlight on Shipper’s Interest

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. And there’s no question that the going is tough as Americans in all sectors and from all walks of life join together in the national and global fight against COVID-19.

Network of Critical Shipments

Despite the extreme adversity, today is an opportune time to be part of the network of critical shipments that are needed in our nation. This may mean you are suddenly facing new shippers, possibly higher cargo limits, commodities that are not common to you, and possibly a growing number of new motor carriers to deliver for you.

Shipper’s Interest Cargo

In the midst of all of this, we suggest that Shipper’s Interest cargo can help you with some peace of mind. Since the coverage limit is determined per load, you don’t have concerns of the trucker having adequate limits and acceptable deductibles. Shippers Interest is a quality coverage and responds promptly to pay the claim timely; helping you focus on other issues.

Often the shipper is paid sooner than settling with the trucker’s insurer. This makes your customer easier to satisfy should a claim occur. With Shipper’s Interest, you don’t need to seek excess limits if the trucker’s limits are not adequate. This coverage can also reduce your contingent cargo exposure as the possible failure of the trucker’s policy to pay is not a factor of concern. Some Freight Brokers use this option for a trucker that may have adequate limits, but concerns exist over their coverage quality. That also applies when you want to protect a shipping relationship with a key customer.
