SEFLcargo liability: what's actually covered
Like every LTL carrier, SEFLincludes only limited cargo liability with a standard shipment — usually far less than the freight is worth. Here's what their public rules tariff provides before any additional coverage:
$1.00–$10.00/lb by freight class
capped at $100,000
$0.10/lb
capped at $10,000
Worth knowing: SEFL's tariff reduces liability further on spot-quoted, volume, or FAK-rated freight — which is how most brokered shipments move. Don't assume the standard numbers above apply to a discounted rate.
If your freight is worth more than these limits, declare its value when you quote with us and add full-value coverage in one step — or estimate your gap with our freight insurance calculator. Compare all 21 carriers' limits in our LTL liability guide, or learn how coverage works on our insurance & cargo protection page.
Source: SEFL 1090 Rules Tariff, Items 848, 848-1, 848-5 (effective Item 848: 2024-06-21). Limits are the carrier's published tariff provisions and can change; actual liability is determined by the tariff and bill of lading terms in effect at shipment.
