About this episode

This episode explains the complexities of freight claims and how to manage them effectively to avoid significant losses.

A rejected load can quickly become a five-figure loss, and the outcome often comes down to documentation, evidence, and how the claim is handled from the start. We break down freight claims, OS&D, cargo insurance, reefer issues, USDA inspections, carrier cooperation, and the practical steps brokers can take to prevent small mistakes from turning into expensive disputes.
