What Freight Broker coverage includes
Freight brokers can be sued when a carrier they hired causes a wreck or loses a load, and carriers look at how you vet motor carriers and what your contracts say.
- Contingent auto liability - Defense when you are named in a carrier's truck accident.
- Contingent cargo - Lost loads when the motor carrier's cargo policy fails.
- Broker E&O - Errors in booking, routing and paperwork.
- General liability - Office and premises claims against your brokerage.
- Surety bond (BMC-84) - The $75,000 broker bond required by FMCSA.
Good to know: a documented carrier selection process (authority, safety rating, insurance verification) is the first thing underwriters ask for.
Not covered: loads you haul with your own trucks, cargo when the carrier’s own policy should have paid, and fines or penalties on most broker policies.
