About the course
Transportation operations face significant liability exposures that extend well beyond the highway. This course examines trucking risk management, telematics, and Umbrella Liability to help brokers understand how technology, operational controls, and excess liability protection work together to reduce the impact of catastrophic losses. You'll learn how driver screening, fleet maintenance, cargo securement, fatigue management, route planning, theft prevention, and regulatory compliance strengthen both underwriting submissions and claims defence. The course also explores how telematics uses real driving behaviour to improve risk selection, pricing, and driver performance, while addressing privacy, consent, and claims implications. Finally, you'll examine how Umbrella Liability provides higher-limit protection when primary liability policies are exhausted and why maintaining underlying insurance is critical to preserving coverage. By the end of this course, you'll be better equipped to evaluate commercial transportation risks, recommend appropriate liability limits, leverage telematics as a risk management tool, and build comprehensive insurance programs that protect trucking clients from both routine and catastrophic claims.
