INSURANCE

Before you choose any Heavy Equipment Transport company you should be made fully aware of their insurance that protects your cargo during the transport process. ETS can offer you peace of mind while your cargo is in transit by having it insured by the carrier, Every transport operator holds a valid and up to date policy and a cargo policy. This insurance policy is required and is mandatory by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

All ETS drivers are fully insured and to make this process easy as possible we provide the following insurance information. Here are some helpful hints you may need to know when it comes to coverage for your Heavy Equipment or cargo.

The cargo insurance policy in effect during transportation covers damage to your cargo; this includes any damage from the transportation of all products or Equipment hauled by ETS. It also covers neglect in loading, unloading and transportation of the load by the driver. Any resulting damage would be addressed to the cargo policy in effect by the carrier.

All drivers carry a minimum of 100,000.00 to 5,000,000.00 depending on the value of your cargo. You may be named directly on any insurance policy, there may be a minimal charge depending on the insurance agency.

The driver inspects the cargo / Equipment for any pre-existing damage before loading you're more than welcome to make a list of anything you are aware of or even take a couple of pictures of something in particular .

Before your Equipment is loaded we ask all drivers to take digital photo’s of the Equipment for insurance purposes ,But not all drivers carry digital cameras or picture phones

The driver will perform the same inspection process when he delivers the laod or Equipment.
