Don’t Forget to Add Supplementary Insurance!
FreightRun clients can add supplementary insurance when they move new or used equipment. This can be done by having the carrier’s insurance company increase their limits and confirm they cover the specific type of machine, used or new, that is being moved.
Also, FreightRun has a supplementary policy available from a third-party insurance company that is more liberal, more inclusive, and which will even pay the claim first and then go after the carrier’s policy if necessary.
Not only will FreightRun take the legwork out of securing your heavy machinery transport, we’re also committed to reducing those shipping costs for you and protecting you from all in-transit risks.
