From the supplier: Underwriting motor truck cargo carriers can be a difficult business. The insurer should make sure that it takes nothing for granted and understands what the insurance company is insuring. A trucking company’s financial records may offer some insight into the insurer’s risk. A poorly financed company may be more likely to experience breakdowns or sell off part of a load for fuel. Proper packing of a shipment is important too, and insurers can hire surveyors to watch the trucking company pack a load. Motor truck cargo has declined in its profitability to insurers since 1991.
