Brokers  are only as good as the carriers available to them. When a potential load requires above average insurance limits, the available carriers are limited, and it becomes increasingly more difficult to secure business. This is where your TMS service is the solution.  Providing brokers and carriers with an easy spot insurance option means they can readily secure new business.  Single trip cargo insurance allows a broker to purchase additional insurance limits that they can use to supplement a motor carrier’s standard coverage limit — and win loads. 

As insurance premiums continue to rise, many motor carriers are operating under lower policy limits in order to manage costs. Unfortunately, and ironically, these same carriers are then excluded from a range of valuable loads and opportunities because they are no longer eligible to service these loads because of their reduced policy limits. In short, motor carriers are having to decide between affordable insurance premiums versus the ability to obtain business. Fortunately, there is a solution to avoiding this precarious and destructive tradeoff. A motor carrier can use single trip cargo insurance to boost their limits on a per load basis, which in turn allows them  to bid on load values that exceed their standard cargo limits, including highly desired full truckload (FTL) loads not otherwise in reach. Because insurance alternatives may be otherwise limited for motor carriers, your TMS site offering of spot cargo insurance allows you to benefit from a largely untapped revenue stream.

Purchasing spot insurance has traditionally been a cumbersome process. For TMS clients with high volumes of higher value shipments, this process can be incredibly tedious and time-consuming. That’s because they often have to visit multiple sites to secure the exact coverage limit they need.

Furthermore, when a deal becomes available, freight brokers and motor carriers need to act fast when faced with a dynamic and increasingly competitive business environment.  As a result, brokers and carriers often become discouraged from pursuing single trip cargo insurance and miss out on shipments valued in excess of standard cargo limits, costing them valuable opportunities for growth. If you can become a preferred business partner, by offering a next-level spot insurance alternative, your opportunities for growth expand too.
