what is pickup and delivery insurance?
Pickup and delivery insurance is designed to give peace of mind to delivery contractors, as well as vendors who use delivery truck services that involve many shipments going to various destinations.
Also known as “Last Mile Delivery” insurance, it covers the journey of goods from a transportation hub to a final delivery point, usually a personal residence.
Two of the most common categories are FedEx and Amazon deliveries. Box trucks with weight class below the commercial drivers license requirement are the most common vehicles used in these types of operations.
Pickup and delivery insurance can also apply to parcel delivery such as:
- Restaurant, catering, and bakery deliveries
- Product supply orders to customers
- Flowers to a local establishment or residence
why is pickup and delivery insurance important?
There’s plenty of potential for missteps when dealing with the intricate logistics of parcel delivery -- for example, Amazon shipment deliveries can involve 30-40 separate deliveries for a single vehicle in a single day. Delivery trucks and their drivers are under various time constraints, and must start and stop often.
Plus, many pickup and delivery drivers are not required to carry a commercial license, so their liability must be accounted for via pickup and delivery insurance.
