Rio Grande Valley freight on a short shelf life.
For carriers hauling fresh fruit and vegetables from the Valley, Laredo and Texas packing sheds.
Produce is the most claim-prone refrigerated freight. Loads are inspected on arrival and can be rejected on quality alone.
A receiver can refuse a load for temperature or condition. Whether cargo coverage pays depends on the cause.
Onion, citrus and melon seasons bring heavy volume. Extra trucks and drivers must be added to the policy first.
Two minutes of details is enough to start. A licensed Texas agent reviews every request, compares the options available from the insurance companies we represent, and explains them in plain language.
It depends on why. Reefer failure may be covered with breakdown coverage. Disputes over quality are often settled between carrier, broker and shipper.
Your policy generally covers Texas and US travel. Freight you pick up at a US warehouse after it crosses is ordinary US cargo.
Fill in the form on this page or call (361) 336-0409. A licensed Texas agent reviews every request and tells you plainly what is available for your operation. Nothing is covered until an insurance company issues a policy.
General information for Texas truckers, not legal advice. Minimums and contract requirements change; coverage is subject to policy terms, conditions and underwriting approval.
