Estimates from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate that 11% of accidents are due to the driver inappropriately departing from their lane while traveling; fatigue contributes to driver error, which is present in the majority of large truck crashes. Drivers having to fight loads is a concern

Motor vehicle collisions are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1.2 million people worldwide die and 50 million are injured every year due to traffic-related accidents. Traffic accidents result in considerable economic cost, currently estimated at 1-2% of average gross national product ($518 billion globally per year) with Lane Incursions due to driver error as the second leading factor

Unfortunately, there is no standard freight insurance policy that a carrier can purchase and be 100% protected. Freight insurance just doesn’t provide protection against all losses a carrier can be responsible for under the Carmack Amendment or common law. Even more, just because a carrier has a certificate of insurance stating a specified amount of freight insurance, it doesn’t mean that your claim will be covered. Example, one company increased their freight claims from $150,000 to $1.2 million/year; why deal with all that
