Where I can buy CMR Insurance?
Normally an option with your goods in transit insurance. Should be able to get it from any HGV insurance broker.
The policy is calculated for so much value per ton of what is carried .
On my paperwork to sign on my CMR , I claused it after loading with this :
Shippers load, stow and count.
Which means I am not responsible for goods missing due to the consignee not counting correctly , so the consignor can’t claim the loss of your CMR insurance .
Take photos of the load .
If possible, get a trailer that can be sealed with a TIR cord.
Clause the CMR to sealed at loading point with seal number 1234,on a multi drop,
reseal it with another seal .
A trailer with holes in the roof, sides or floor is asking for trouble for damaged goods and wet goods from rain getting in.
