Freight Statistics and the Importance of Freight Insurance

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics which is update every 5 years, the movement of freight in the domestic and international trade during 2013 was 55 million tons of freight daily. And as the demand of freight transportation grows so does the concern for safety. Freight Insurance is an integral part of freight transportation.

Large trucks during 1990 to 2013 accounted for almost all freight transportation fatalities by 95.8%, and the majority of related highway fatalities involved passenger vehicles. Most hazardous material are transported by truck, and if there is an accident the damage is huge. About 2% of incidents in 2014 were accident related which composed 80.9% of all property damage.
