Understanding the Nuances of Transportation Insurance and Broker Liabilities

In this episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast, Jason Rogers, Senior Vice President at World Insurance Services, discusses the critical importance of working with specialized brokers for transportation-related insurance. He explores the differences between asset-based carriers, domestic freight forwarders, and domestic property brokers, highlighting their distinct roles in risk management and statutory liabilities. 

Jason also explains critical industry terms such as non-admitted carriers, the significance of the bill of lading, and the mechanics of liability limitations under the Carmac Amendment.
