    We hauled a load for XPO logistics load was set at the wrong temp by driver. Insurance now has denied paying our claim. What do we do now what's next?? Has anyone gone through this??

    What insurance policy says about freight lost due to driver mistakes or stupidity?

    Pay more to include driver error. Verify temp on every load with the driver.

    I went through it once. Once was enough. Do what you can to salvage the load and either dump it, donate it, or sell it if you can. The best bet might be just dumping it.
    There isn't really anything you can do except educate your drivers and try to survive this.

    No, I don't have any magic words for you. I wish I I did. We had the cash reserves to pay for a load of frozen fish that thawed out but we couldn't, at that time, have done it again.
    Just pay the bill and go on if you can. If not, file BK and reorganize.

    You won't get paid for the load. Depending on what the product is, you will have to find a dump to get rid of it. The original shipper will bill you for the cost of the product. And if you don't pay. They will sue you. Hope you have deep pockets or a healthy line of credit.
