Where Mexico Cargo Insurance Gaps Leave You Exposed with Mark Vickers

Your freight crosses into Mexico. If something happens to it there, do you know whose insurance responds and what it actually covers? I’m joined by Mark Vickers, Executive Vice President and Head of International Logistics at Reliance Partners, to examine the coverage assumptions that can turn a lost load into an expensive argument. We discuss why carrier liability and cargo insurance need separate attention, what a shipper might mean when they say they’re self-insured, and how contracts affect the conversation after a loss. Mark also explains how carrier vetting and shipment tracking fit into risk management. This conversation is part of CargoRex’s Mexico Cross-Border Freight Guide.
