I too, found out the value of those dollars spent on cargo insurance. Leased out to CR England, I picked up a pre-loaded trailer from Nestles. There were 3 drops in the Chicago area. Drop #2 stated the shipment was shorted but not unusual. I failed to make the call into the 'claims' dept, due to the fact I had only a half hour to make it to the next drop before they closed. By that time, CRE was closed up for the day. Two months later, it came back to bite me in the butt. The claims dept. socked me with a $700 fine for the shorted load. It didn't come out of insurance. It came out of my pocket.
