In this article, we’ll explore the importance of freight broker insurance, outline key coverage options, and explain why Secure Edge Insurance is the right partner to safeguard your business.

Why Freight Broker Insurance Is Essential

Freight broker insurance is an essential safety net for businesses that coordinate the movement of goods. As the crucial link between shippers and carriers, freight brokers face a unique set of risks—from liability for delays or damaged shipments to potential claims stemming from lost cargo or operational errors. Without the right coverage in place, these risks can lead to serious financial consequences and harm your business’s reputation.

At SecureEdge Insurance, we help you stay protected with coverage tailored to the specific challenges of freight brokerage. Our policies guard against claims related to negligence, errors and omissions, and other unexpected hurdles. With SecureEdge by your side, you can focus on growing your business—while we manage the risks that come with the territory.

Contingent Cargo Insurance

Contingent Cargo Insurance ensures that your business is protected in case a carrier’s insurance falls short or doesn’t cover the full extent of cargo damage or loss. This coverage guarantees that you can meet your obligations to shippers, providing financial protection when unforeseen events occur.

General Liability Insurance

Umbrella Liability Coverage goes even further, not only increasing the limits of your existing policies but also filling coverage gaps by protecting against certain risks that your primary policies may not cover. This includes coverage for General Liability, Auto Liability, Employers Liability, and more, acting as a safeguard to ensure you're fully covered against a broad range of liabilities.

Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance

Errors and Omissions Insurance (also known as Professional Liability Insurance) is designed specifically for the risks freight brokers face. This coverage protects your business against claims of negligence, mistakes, or omissions in your professional services—such as incorrect shipment documentation, failing to vet carriers properly, or disputes over contracts.

Surety Bonds

Surety Bonds are a legal requirement for freight brokers and provide financial protection to shippers and carriers in the event of non-payment or breach of contract. These bonds serve as a guarantee that you will meet your financial obligations and adhere to industry regulations.
