Is it necessary for a carrier to add a broker on their general liability policy?

 

thank you all for replies

 

5. INSURANCE LIABILITIES PROTECTION
Carrier agrees to assume all liability for, and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Broker
or its customers harmless for all expenses (including expenses of defending against legal
proceedings by any party, including Carrier, Carrier’s employees or subcontractors, or Carrier’s
Insurer), damages suits or claims or injuries to or death for any and all persons and for loss of or
damage to property, in whomsoever belonging, arising out of Carrier’s activities and performance
of duties hereunder. Carrier agrees to purchase and carry during the term of this Agreement and
any extensions thereof, policies of bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, including
blanket contractual coverage, and naming Broker as an additional named insured, in the amount
of $2,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence. Carrier agrees to obtain workers’
compensation insurance required by the law of the states in which the transportation service shall
be performed, protecting and covering Carrier and its employees in such amounts as are required
by the statutes of said states. Copies of insurance policies, with all riders, endorsements, or other
attachments or arrangements evidencing these limits must be provided Broker before any
shipments will be tendered to Carrier.
6. PROPERTY DAMAGE AND CARGO LOSS

Carrier shall have the sole and exclusive care, custody and control of all Broker’s customers
property from the time it is delivered to it for transportation until delivery to the consignee. The
Carrier assumes full responsibility for any and all damage to said property while in its care,
custody, or control. Consistent herewith, Carrier agrees to purchase and carry during the term of
this Agreement and any extensions hereof, policies of “all risks” cargo insurance, and naming
Broker as an additional named insured, insuring each shipment carried, warehoused, or stored
hereunder against all risk of physical damage in the amount of its full invoice value, plus
applicable paid freight charges.

7. CARRIER’S CARGO LIABILITY
Carrier shall be liable to Broker and its customers for loss or damage to any property transported
under this Agreement. Such liability shall begin at the time cargo is loaded upon the Carrier’s
equipment at the point of origin and until said cargo is delivered to the designated consignee at
destination, or to any intermediate stop off party. The liability shall be for the full value of the item,
which shall be understood to mean the invoiced cost of the lost or damaged item(s). With respect
to any and all losses or damages due Broker from Carrier, Broker shall have the right to deduct
those damages from any other monies due Carrier, whether or not it is related to the load/contract
that was the cause of said damages. Carrier shall be liable as a common carrier as defined at 49-
CFR 11707. Broker shall file any cargo claim with Carrier within one (1) year of the scheduled
date of delivery
