Keep in mind nothing is damaged
How long does this insurance claim take ?
We just had a similar issue but with ice cream. The reciever rejected load said to soft. All this day before new years and we werw stuckthe weekend after we sat there for 3 days holding onto load for them after they wouldn't receive us after being a hour late meanwhile broker was to be calling them to tell them we would be a hour late. Broker said it is fine head over so we did.
They said ice cream was at 16 degrees when our reefer was set -10 we know our reefer isn't that off. The thing with these frozen loads is they make you open Your doors and back up to dock and this can be anywhere from 5-30 minutes so did they check reefer temp after doors were open.
And it is to old of a reefer to print a report on so now a claim has been filled and we kept the ice cream so now what do we do with 26,000 lbs of ice cream??? -

Probably should've contacted someone when you first knew. It takes a person of character to admit they made a mistake.

Good idea

We did contact the broker ASAP and they made us wait while they were trying to figure out what was gonna a happen. Then after 6 hours they told us to head out and file a claim.
