What Up to $1 Million in Cargo Insurance Means for You, the Shipper

Shipping valuable cargo is already stressful—losing it in transit can be disastrous. That’s why Landstar’s cargo insurance, covering up to $1 million per load, delivers serious peace of mind for shippers of all sizes.

🔐 Bottom-Line Protection You Deserve

Cargo values can skyrocket—multiple loads in transit can push exposure near or past $1 million :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. With Landstar’s protection, you’re not gambling your bottom line on a single accident.

📉 Avoid Catastrophic Losses

Without sufficient insurance, losing $500K of product means your business must generate $5 million in revenue (with 10 % profit margin) just to break even :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. Landstar bridges that gap.

🚛 Protection Beyond Standard Carrier Liability

Basic carrier liability often covers only $100K–$250K per load :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. Landstar’s policy extends that to $1 million, giving you 4–10× more coverage when it really counts.

✅ More Than Just Dollars—You Gain:

• Real-time peace of mind: Track shipments confidently knowing coverage applies until delivery.
• Higher-value freight: Move more expensive items—electronics, parts, appliances—with confidence :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
• Better negotiating power: Appear more professional to buyers, vendors, and carriers.
• Contingent coverage: If a hired carrier’s policy falls short—or denies a claim—Landstar fills the void :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
• Efficiency in recovery: Landstar’s swift claims process helps you get reimbursed faster :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.

🛠 How to Use This Coverage Smartly

1. Declare full value at booking—insurer pays on actual loss, not under-declarations.
2. Know the gaps: Acts of God, war, inherent vice usually excluded :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.
3. Package properly: Damage due to poor packaging won’t be covered.
4. Keep records: Bills of lading, photos, and BOLs help fast-track claims.
5. Estimate exposures: If you routinely ship high-value goods, $1 million per load ensures you’re always covered :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.
