Insurance for refrigerated trucking.

Hauling refrigerated freight adds a coverage most cargo policies limit or exclude: reefer breakdown. A spoiled load can be a total loss, so the cargo coverage has to be built for temperature-controlled freight.

Reefer trucking insurance combines primary liability, physical damage, and motor truck cargo written for refrigerated freight, including reefer breakdown coverage, since standard cargo policies often limit or exclude losses from a refrigeration failure.

The reefer breakdown gap

This is the key issue. A standard motor truck cargo policy often excludes or limits spoilage from a refrigeration breakdown, exactly the loss a reefer operator fears most. Reefer breakdown coverage addresses it, but the terms, maintenance requirements, and limits matter, so the cargo coverage has to be read carefully.

Cargo, food, and limits

Refrigerated loads, often food and beverage, carry high values and contamination exposure, so the cargo limit and terms have to match the freight. We line the coverage up with what you haul and the contracts your shippers require.

The rest of the program

Beyond cargo, reefer operations need primary liability, physical damage on the tractor and reefer unit, and the filings that apply under authority. We build the whole program around temperature-controlled freight.
