Freight Broker Insurance Mistakes That Create Costly Liability
Relying on the Carrier's Insurance Alone
As a freight broker, you can still face direct claims when a carrier's insurance falls short, especially on high-value freight. Contingent cargo coverage protects you when the carrier's policy is contested or insufficient.
No Errors & Omissions Coverage
If a shipment goes wrong and a shipper claims it was due to a booking error or miscommunication, you can face legal action. E&O coverage defends you against these claims even when you did everything right.
Underestimating Cyber Exposure
Freight brokers handle sensitive shipper and carrier data, route information, and financial transactions. A ransomware attack or data breach without cyber insurance can cost far more than your annual premium.
Missing Bond Requirements
FMCSA requires freight brokers to maintain a $75,000 surety bond or trust fund. Operating without the correct bond amount, or with an expired bond, means operating illegally.
