I've never had a freight claim, and hopefully this won't turn into one. Picked up a load of bag fertilizer for a customer. Great Khan said only needed tarp if the weather makes it necessary. I checked the weather forecast and the radar didn't see anything there. 20 minutes later the monsoon hit. Tried to get tarps on as fast as I could, and I got soaked in the process. Customer noted it on the BOL. I let my broker know as well. Have never had at issues in the past, and am worried sick about this one. Any advice? I know I learned my lesson on this one.
Freight claims, will this end up being sent to my insurance?

If you can’t eat it, or use it, you better tarp it, or you’ll be stuck with it, kinda like that ugly girl from the bar when you were hammered and woke up with at your place, and a few months later she’s knocked up and it’s yours and your stuck with an ugly thing and an ugly kid.
The tarp would’ve saved you, just sayin...gentleroger and Banker Thank this. -

It was tarped as soon as it started raining, and delivered tarped. I never said anything until the customer mentioned it. I told him we had a downpour while I was strapping down and couldn't get a tarp on it fast enough. Had to strap outside because they were waiting to load another truck inside. -
