Understanding and protecting against the risks that transportation and logistics companies and their third-party network members face is key to their lasting success. These organizations and those they contract with to provide delivery, transportation, or logistic services on their behalf both seek insurance solutions that meet their business’s needs in a way that is cost effective and requires minimal administrative burden. 

In addition to securing their own insurance, transportation and logistics companies must ensure that their third-party network members are consistently and comprehensively covered according to their contracts and regulatory requirements — a process that can be challenging, time-consuming, and costly.

And while your third-party network members may understand that securing appropriate insurance is critical, they may have trouble obtaining adequate coverage at a competitive price on their own. 

Implementing a coordinated transportation and logistics insurance program not only alleviates these issues, but also enhances the relationship between transportation and logistics companies and their third-party network members. In this way, a well-structured insurance program becomes a valuable asset that benefits all parties.
