At Issam Insurance Agency, we’re always looking out for ways to help truckers protect their businesses. We’re excited to share that Progressive Insurance has launched a new endorsement called Cargo Plus, designed to provide even broader protection for for-hire truckers hauling valuable goods.
Why Cargo Plus Matters
Standard Motor Truck Cargo policies cover many types of losses, but they can leave gaps for certain risks truckers face every day. Cargo Plus steps in to close some of those gaps by offering enhanced coverage in critical areas.
With Cargo Plus, truckers get:
✅ Protection against wetness, rust, and corrosion – common causes of cargo damage that aren’t always covered under basic cargo policies.
✅ Debris removal and pollution cleanup – coverage for the costs of cleaning up after an accident that causes cargo spillage.
✅ Refrigeration breakdown coverage – if a refrigerated truck loses cooling and cargo is spoiled, this endorsement helps cover the loss.
This endorsement is tailored for for-hire truckers who want added peace of mind when moving freight across the country.
Why It’s a Smart Move
Cargo Plus gives truckers a more comprehensive safety net, helping avoid costly uncovered claims that could derail operations. Whether you’re hauling temperature-sensitive goods or general freight, having these extra protections in place can make a big difference when the unexpected happens.
At Issam Insurance Agency, we’re here to help you navigate your options and make sure you’re getting the right coverage for your business. If you’re interested in adding Cargo Plus to your policy or learning more about how it works, contact us today for a free consultation.
