Cargo insurance: Laredo to Monterrey
United States → Mexico · Road · 1–3 days door to door
What goes wrong on this corridor
- Short transit, high incident frequency — cargo theft on this corridor is organised rather than opportunistic.
- Trailer interchange at the border is a custody change and a common loss point.
- Cover needs to attach across the interchange, not stop at it.
Elevated risk — Known theft corridors, congestion, or handling and pilferage records that show up in claims. Applied as a ×1.22 factor on the rate.
Highest incident frequency: accidents, hijack and pilferage at rest stops, plus unattended trailers. Applied as ×1.14.
Worked example
$100,000 of automotive parts, ICC (A), $500 deductible, sum insured built as invoice + 10%.
