Trucking Accident causes Loss of Freight Value

There is a responsibility on all parties (shipper, carrier, consignee, freight/transportation logistics provider) to do what is reasonably necessary to mitigate the amount of potential freight damages. How will you ever know what is causing your freight damage, and the best way to mitigate those damage claims if you don’t have a way to collect, catalog, and analyze your data? The answer is you won’t truly know, you’ll just guess. That guess can mean you may favor a mediocre carrier over an A-rated one, or alienate your best carrier when it is actually your company that has a problem at a DC or with packaging.

The answer is you won’t truly know, you’ll just guess. That guess can mean you may favor a mediocre carrier over an A-rated one, or alienate your best carrier when it is actually your company that has a problem at a DC or with packaging.
