One more detail in the same dog food drama. You are getting your truck fixed. The shipper has been properly paid for the loss of the dog food cargo. But who is going to reimburse you for the loss of income you sustained because you were not able to collect from the shipper of the dog food? It's true you didn't fulfill the contract, but sometimes the loss of income for carrying the cargo is the same as the value of the cargo itself.
Earned Freight coverage on your commercial auto insurance policy in Oregon would cover the loss of income because you weren't able to make the delivery. Call us today on the westside at Insuresource Agencies (503-693-2852) or on the eastside at Pulse Insurance, LLC (503-489-3143) to see if you have Earned Freight coverage on your policy.
