What is the Maximum limited liability for trucking shipments?
For Trucking only shipments Exfreight acts as a broker and not the carrier. Any claim made on trucking only shipments will be between the claimant and the carrier directly. Exfreight will receive and help facilitate the claim between our client and the carrier.
The Liability of Carriers under contract with Exfreight and the handling of shipments through Exfreight is limited according to the governing agreements in effect between the carrier and the contracting party/the shipper. The limits of liability depend on the carrier chosen and freight class used. It ranges in value from $2.00-$25.00 per lb with a maximum of $100,000 and is available on request. Articles other-than-new will be subject to a maximum liability of 10 cents per pound. Articles which are subject to released value provisions in the NMFC, and where no released value is provided on the Bill of Lading, or where the freight charges are not affected by the released values, the liability will not exceed the lowest value provided for such article. Any Declared Value in excess of the maximums allowed herein is null and void, and the acceptance of any shipment with a Declared Value in excess of the allowed maximums does not constitute a waiver of these maximums. Subject to the limitations of liability contained in the Shipping Agreement Terms and conditions and the Bill of Lading, the selected Carrier will only be liable for loss, damage or non-delivery caused by their own negligence.
