What's different

Insuring Dry Van Carriers

Dry van is the most common freight in trucking. The risk is in the mix: electronics and paper towels do not carry the same theft exposure.

Theft and target goods

Electronics, alcohol, tires and copper are theft targets. Many cargo forms limit or exclude them unless you ask.

Drop trailers

If you pull shipper or broker trailers, you need trailer interchange or non-owned trailer coverage.

Coverages to ask about
