Freight theft is on the rise—and shippers are paying attention. From stolen freight to fraudulent pickups and shipment diversions, the risk landscape is evolving fast. For businesses shipping less-than-truckload (LTL), whose freight often passes through multiple terminals and hands, this creates a critical need for protection that goes beyond prevention. That’s where LTL cargo insurance comes in.
In LTL shipping, freight often moves through several terminals and touchpoints before reaching its destination. Each handoff is an opportunity to strengthen your security and build confidence in your supply chain. By taking a proactive approach and partnering closely with your carriers, shippers can ensure their freight moves safely and efficiently every step of the way.
Here are a few best practices to help protect your LTL shipments and keep operations running smoothly:
Choose Reputable Carriers: Partner with trusted, vetted carriers known for reliability and strong security standards.
Use Secure Packaging: Apply tamper-evident seals or reinforced packaging to protect cargo integrity.
Build Strong Relationships: Keep open communication with carriers and set clear protocols for reporting any irregularities.
Provide Security Training: Make sure teams understand handling best practices and the importance of freight security.
Leverage Technology: Use tracking tools and visibility solutions to monitor shipments along their journey.
Maintain Comprehensive Coverage: Even with great processes in place, cargo insurance adds an extra layer of financial protection and peace of mind.
These steps not only help safeguard freight but also create a more transparent, resilient shipping process—especially when paired with LTL cargo insurance, which ensures every shipment is protected from end to end.
For LTL shipments the stakes are higher, because shared space often means multiple touchpoints: transfers, terminals, mixed freight, cross-loads. LTL cargo insurance provides a layer of protection built for those complex flows, helping you:
Cover full shipment value (product + transport) if theft or loss happens.
Bridge gaps that carrier liability does not cover, especially crucial when liability limits are low or tangled.
Simplify claims so you don’t have to wait weeks, chase liability, or carry the risk entirely yourself.
Ship confidently knowing you have a financial back-stop, not just hope that nothing goes wrong.
By embedding insurance into your LTL workflow, you address risk proactively—not reactively.
