Risk Advisory

Key Exposures We Address

Cargo & Motor Truck Cargo operations carry distinct risks that require specialized coverage strategies. Our team identifies and mitigates the exposures most likely to impact your business.

01
Cargo Theft
Cargo theft is a multi-billion dollar annual problem in the US, with electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food products among the most targeted commodities.
02
Accident Damage
Highway accidents can result in total cargo losses, particularly for fragile, perishable, or high-value commodities.
03
Temperature Excursion
Refrigeration unit failures can result in catastrophic spoilage of temperature-sensitive cargo, including food, pharmaceuticals, and biologics.
04
Hazmat Spills
Hazardous material cargo spills create significant environmental liability and cleanup costs beyond the value of the cargo itself.
05
Carrier Cargo Policy Gaps
Standard motor truck cargo policies contain significant exclusions — including acts of God, improper loading, and inherent vice — that can leave shippers unprotected.
06
High-Value Commodity Theft
Electronics, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods require specialized theft prevention and coverage beyond standard cargo limits.
