FREIGHT INSURANCE ASAP

Excess Cargo Insurance

Do you have a shipment that’s value or required limit exceeds the trucker’s cargo policy limit? Don’t risk losing this business to another carrier with more insurance coverage. Get the excess cargo insurance coverage you need in minutes! We can help you to get supplemental freight insurance or spot insurance quickly and easily.

Excess coverage (or Trip Transit or Spot Insurance) is used when the Motor Truck Carrier’s (MTC) policy limit is not sufficient to cover the value of the shipment a trucker is carrying, this excess coverage is gap insurance. Most truckers only carry $100,000 in freight insurance, which is simply not enough cargo insurance coverage in most cases. Generally, excess cargo insurance coverage is purchased by the Freight Broker or the Shipper. This allows for more flexibility when assigning a trucker to move a shipment.

Supplemental freight insurance, gap insurance or spot coverage can also be purchased by a motor carrier who does not currently have enough cargo insurance. Getting instant excess cargo coverage ensures that a Trucker will not miss the opportunity to move a load of freight and the payday associated with it.
