Whether required or not, offering cargo insurance can make you more appealing to shippers and brokers. DAT’s trusted partner Loadsure is the best way to get the insurance you need to secure your cargo and support your business.
Loadsure is different. Loadsure offers door-to-door coverage on a large variety of loads — including specialty loads. If your cargo is stolen, damaged during loading or unloading, or destroyed by an Act of God, you’re still covered with Loadsure.
Pay only for the insurance you need.
Avoid contracts that tie you into hefty rates you don’t actually need to pay.
Cargo insurance premiums can reach in the tens of thousands of dollars for truckers — and hotshot truckers often have even higher premiums compared to carriers of non-specialty freight. To avoid overpaying due to long-term contracts that tie truckers into high rates that don’t reflect the actual value of the cargo being shipped, per-load insurance is presenting a new frontier.
DAT’s trusted insurance partner Loadsure delivers per-load coverage using real invoice data to offer more accurate rates and faster pricing than other spike and gap insurers, all available from your DAT dashboard.

When you’re a hotshot trucker, you need to work as efficiently as possible because any time you waste is costing you money. Hotshot loads have a tight turnaround, and a streamlined trucking insurance solution can help you save time and money. With DAT’s partnership with Loadsure, you can access per-load insurance right from the best load board in the industry — all on the same interface.
Hotshot cargo insurance is necessary for the success of hotshot trucking in general, a vital part of the transportation industry that delivers high-priority deliveries in a short period of time. Hotshot truckers can drive a wide variety of vehicle types, from LTL trucks to flatbeds and full-size semis. No matter which type of truck they drive, hotshot truckers will often have to invest in insurance to cover their cargo.
Hotshot cargo insurance comes in two varieties. You can either get an insurance contract that comes with a standard monthly rate no matter the value of the actual cargo you end up carrying or you can get per-load insurance, known as spike and gap insurance. Per-load pricing is especially useful for hotshot trucking where the value of cargo can vary greatly from one shipment to another.
You can find hotshot cargo insurance on your own, but the best way to get it is through DAT thanks to its partnership with Loadsure, a leading per-load freight insurance supplier.
Loadsure insurance is integrated right into your DAT load board, which means you can access insurance (and insurance pricing) as soon as you pick a load. With a unified trucking management solution, you can get high-precision per-load insurance right at your fingertips — saving you both time and money.
Hotshot cargo insurance costs can vary greatly based on what freight you’re hauling and on whether you have a contract or you’re getting per-load insurance. Typically, contract costs are higher since they are calculated to account for the most expensive freight you’re likely to haul, even if you only haul freight of that value one time.
With Loadsure’s per-load pricing, your hotshot insurance pricing will vary from load to load, meaning you’ll only pay higher premiums when you’re actually hauling freight that requires a greater level of coverage. Loadsure lets you insure up to $2 million dollars per load whether you’re transporting standard loads or hotshot loads and the price you pay will reflect the actual value of each load you pick up. Hotshot insurance can get expensive, but Loadsure helps to make sure you’re not paying any more than you have to.
Freight insurance is a necessary component of any freight transportation business. Even though hotshot insurance is essential, it can get expensive without the right pricing tools. With Loadsure, hotshot truckers can get economical per-load insurance that uses market rates to assess and deliver high-precision insurance pricing. Now, you can avoid overpaying on premiums and fees — and get only the coverage you need.
Loadsure offers the best combination of great pricing, fast insurance claim processing, and easy access thanks to its integration into the DAT dashboard. When you’re dealing with monthly premiums, it’s all too common to overpay. With traditional spike and gap insurance, added fees and inaccurate pricing can break your bank. Loadsure has a competitive edge against the market, which makes it a clear frontrunner among other hotshot insurance products.
