GlobalTranz Adopts Truckstop.com's Cargo Shield for LTL Freight Insurance Coverage
The expanded partnership allows for integrated, per-load insurance coverage that is accessible directly from GlobalTranz's TMS.
NEW PLYMOUTH, Idaho, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Truckstop.com, leader in transportation technology and freight matching, has announced that technology-driven freight brokerage, GlobalTranz, has adopted Truckstop.com's Cargo Shield for their LTL freight insurance. Cargo Shield is a per-load "Shipper's Interest" insurance solution for both LTL and full truckload freight and is now accessible directly from GlobalTranz's TMS. A flat, low-cost option, Cargo Shield covers occurrences that most other policies do not, such as "Acts of God", theft, unattended vehicle, as well as offering some of the broadest coverage terms in the industry. Cargo Shield also offers a unique load valuation process whereby freight claims are paid based on value as stated on the BOL, not a released value or freight class formula.
"Our number one priority at Truckstop.com is making our customers' lives easier so they can focus on business growth," said Paris Cole, CEO of Truckstop.com. "There is a need for a new type of insurance solution – one with broad-form coverage that is both cost-effective and easily accessible from our customers' current workflows. GlobalTranz is an excellent partner because they recognize the value of integrated technology as a tool to grow their business…even with unconventional solutions like insurance."
"We are thrilled to offer Cargo Shield's All-Risk 'shipper's interest' coverage to GlobalTranz agent and shipper customers," said Angie Tessmer, Vice President of Purchasing. "Cargo Shield enables us to provide one of the broadest coverage terms in the industry directly in our TMS technology. Their dedicated policy team helps us increase the speed of claims processing and drive operational efficiency.
