Logistics

Advisory for freight brokers, 3PLs, warehouses, and supply chain operators with distinct contractual and cargo exposures.

Risk Overview

Logistics risk spans brokerage, warehousing, and contingent liability

Logistics companies carry distinct exposures across brokerage operations, warehousing, freight forwarding, and contingent cargo liability. Programs must address contractual indemnity, cargo legal liability, and property at terminals or fulfillment centers.

Questions

Common coverage questions

Topics clients often discuss during an initial consultation.

  • What is my exposure as a broker vs. a motor carrier?

  • Do I need contingent cargo, primary cargo, or both?

  • How do warehouse and bailee liability limits apply to stored goods?

  • What bond and trust fund requirements apply to my brokerage?

  • How should contracts with carriers and shippers allocate risk?

Coverage availability and eligibility depend on carrier underwriting guidelines, state requirements, and individual risk details.
