What should I include in a transport support services insurance quote request first?
List activity profile, assets, workforce structure, and your top three exposures. For Transport, Postal and Warehousing this is usually where fleet uptime and compliance risk in transport, freight, and delivery operations, cargo handling and customer-delivery timing sensitivity, warehouse and handling equipment exposure to collision and downtime become the most important differentiators.
