About this episode
This episode discusses contingent cargo insurance, its coverage gaps, and practical risk management strategies for freight transport.
Most freight insurance problems start long before a claim ever happens. In this episode, we break down contingent cargo insurance, coverage gaps, excluded commodities, theft claims, and why many brokers and carriers misunderstand what’s actually protected when freight moves. We also cover practical risk management strategies for verifying coverage, handling high-value freight, and avoiding costly surprises when a shipment goes sideways.
