Why Flock Freight? For Shippers For Carriers Company Resources Sign In Get Started Home-Resources-Freight Insurance Freight Insurance All you need to know about our insurance options. What is Freight Liability? As a standard practice in the freight industry, shipments are covered up to the carrier’s Limitation of Liability in the event of damage or loss. This limited liability coverage varies from carrier to carrier and depends on the shipment’s commodity type (often categorized by a Freight Class), whether or not the shipment is new or used, how the shipment is packaged, and other factors. Since each carrier covers a standard dollar amount per pound of freight, the limited liability amount may or may not cover the entire manufacturer’s value of your shipment. For this reason, some shippers and consignees choose to purchase additional LTL freight insurance to protect their shipments beyond the standard amount covered by LTL carriers. To Waive Additional Insurance: If your shipment is already insured and/or the Limitation of Liability satisfies your insurance requirements, select “No” to waive additional insurance. To Select Additional Insurance: If you require additional freight insurance, you have the option to purchase additional insurance to protect up to the full manufacturer’s value of your shipment. Select “Yes” for additional insurance coverage and enter the manufacturer’s value that needs to be insure when requesting your quote.
