Hauling delicate, perishable, or otherwise complicated cargo can put your load at risk of spoilage and theft. To avoid having to make a claim related to spoilage, you’ll need to pay greater attention to your temperature-controlled equipment:

make a maintenance schedule and stick to it, train your staff to properly set the temperature, and if your budget allows, consider installing satellite technology to monitor and remotely adjust cargo temperatures while in transit.

Cargo theft can be a more complex threat to manage. Sophisticated crime rings are operating all over the country, and thieves dream up new ways of stealing cargo all the time. Your risk management routine will need to start by addressing your fleet’s unique operations, along with any vulnerabilities, and respond with  appropriate anti-theft devices and practices.
