High-Value Freight Transportation
Shipments whose value, handling and security expectations differ from ordinary freight need extra planning before acceptance.
What is High-Value Freight Transportation?
Before a high-value load is accepted, the shipper and carrier should agree on commodity details, declared value, packaging, loading procedures, seal or access requirements, insurance terms and communication expectations.
Acceptance, available safeguards and applicable coverage are confirmed for the individual load before dispatch.
What to agree up front
- Accurate declared value and commodity description
- Packaging and loading procedures
- Seal or access requirements
- Insurance and coverage terms explained before booking
- Communication and update expectations
