Cargo theft. It’s rare, but its impact is wide. While porch pirates grab the attention of the average consumer, logistics professionals and shippers are seeing a sizable increase in both old-fashioned and high-tech theft of entire truckloads of commodities including food and beverage products, household goods and electronics.
Cargo claims are never fun. Properly filing one can be both confusing and frustrating. This is especially true when working with a freight broker to move your freight. Since freight brokerages aren’t trucking companies, many shippers simply don’t know where to turn for compensation on an over, short, and/or damaged (OS&D) load.

Every business cares about the freight they move, the shipments that keep their businesses running and the dollars rolling in. So yeah, it could be argued that every load is “highly valued” by the companies arranging its transport.
You may be wondering how having a well-formulated contract between you and your brokerage can benefit your business. Perhaps you’re running into issues reaching mutually beneficial terms and are looking for a way to truly understand these documents you’re signing.
As a shipper, you can do a lot of things to ensure your cargo reaches its destination in the best possible condition. For example, you can choose a reliable carrier, take extra care when packing your shipment and provide thorough handling instructions.
