Cargo Insurance and Filing Claims

Included in your freight charges is a premium for cargo insurance. Young Brothers' Tariff 5-A is an insured tariff, which means that damages are claimed against your own cargo insurance. YB makes the insurance available to you at a reduced rate. For more information, you may download detailed insurance information (6kb PDF).

If damage occurs or your vehicle is lost, you may file a claim under your cargo insurance. The claim will be handled through a claims adjuster, who has been appointed by the cargo insurer. For more information, you may download instructions for filing a claim (28kb PDF) and/or download a claim form (8kb PDF).

Listed below are some of the key points to remember when you are filing a claim.

• You must notify the cargo insurer in writing that you intend to file a claim within 60 days after your vehicle is delivered or should have been delivered.
• You must file a claim form, which you can get from this website or any Young Brothers' office.
• You must include all of the documents listed on the instruction sheet.
• You must include two repair estimates.
• You should expect to receive a payment for your loss within 30 days after filing all of your required documents.
