AMAZON

As an authorized carrier for Amazon, it is essential to meet specific insurance requirements to ensure the safe and reliable transportation of goods within their network. Amazon sets these insurance standards to protect both their business and the carriers they partner with. Below are the key insurance requirements for carriers operating within the Amazon logistics network:

1. Auto Liability Insurance: Carriers are required to maintain Auto Liability Insurance coverage with minimum limits as specified by Amazon. This insurance covers bodily injury and property damage liability arising from accidents involving the carrier's trucks.
2. Cargo Insurance: Amazon expects carriers to have adequate Cargo Insurance in place. This coverage protects the cargo being transported against loss or damage during transit.
3. General Liability Insurance: In addition to Auto Liability Insurance, carriers must have General Liability Insurance to protect against non-thttps://relay.amazon.com/rucking liability claims, such as bodily injury or property damage that may occur when the truck is not in operation.
4. Workers' Compensation Insurance: Carriers must comply with state Workers' Compensation Insurance requirements to provide coverage for their employees in the event of work-related injuries or illnesses.
5. Excess Liability Insurance (Umbrella Insurance): Depending on the carrier's size and operations, Amazon may require Excess Liability Insurance to provide additional coverage beyond the primary liability policies.

It is important for carriers to maintain continuous insurance coverage and provide proof of insurance documentation to Amazon. Failure to meet these insurance requirements can result in a carrier's suspension or termination from the Amazon logistics network.

For more detailed information and specific insurance limits, carriers should refer to their contractual agreements and communicate with Amazon's logistics team or the designated insurance representatives. Complying with these insurance requirements not only ensures compliance with Amazon's standards but also demonstrates a commitment to safety and risk management within the logistics industry.
