I’ve been handling claims for over 20 years, been in trucking claims for about a year and a half. I see companies under insured almost daily. Some of that is equipment prices that are unstable. The bigger issue I see frequently being drastically under insured on cargo. Things like loads that are worth $500,000 or more, and the carrier has $100,000 coverage. That’s a big gamble, if you upset don’t think they won’t bypass your insurance and come after everything you have. Find out what your load is worth.
