What Transit / Shipments coverage includes

Transit coverage protects your goods while they move by truck, rail, air or common carrier, and carriers look at annual shipping volume and the largest single shipment.

  • Incoming shipments - Goods shipped to you from suppliers.
  • Outgoing shipments - Products on the way to your customers.
  • Your own vehicles - Goods carried on your own trucks.
  • Common carriers - Goods with UPS, freight lines and rail.
  • Theft and damage - Loss, theft and damage in transit.

Good to know: carriers’ liability limits are often low, so transit coverage fills the gap above what a freight company will pay.

Not covered: improper packing, delay, loss of market, and ocean or international shipments (ocean marine).
