To preface this story – We take great pride to ensure we understand our clients’ needs and the risks associated therewith. If we were moving high value goods, we would know prior and ensure we have the proper insurance and security procedures. Further, we push down similar documented requirements on our carriers. Lastly, if we had an issue with a carrier, that is our problem, not our clients.
