Freight Brokers’ Liability & Contingent Cargo

Designed to protect truck brokers in the event one of their contracted truckers has a coverage issue.

The freight brokerage market is poised to grow by $41.47B between now and 2024.

America's trucking industry is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. In fact, nearly every good consumed in the U.S. is put on a truck at some point. As a result, the trucking industry hauled 72.5% of all freight transported in the United States in 2019, equating to 11.84 billion tons. The trucking industry was a $791.7 billion industry in that same year, representing 80.4% of the nation’s freight bill.

Truck and freight brokerage operations need coverage for the exposures presented when their clients’ policies fail to respond. Amwins National Transportation Underwriters' Freight Brokers’ Liability & Contingent Cargo product helps to service this segment of the industry.  Our laser focus and specialty underwriting expertise help you, our retail partners, build your business year over year.
