Wardcargo liability: what's actually covered
Like every LTL carrier, Wardincludes 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
$0.10/lb
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: WARD 110Z Rules Tariff, Items 440, 445 (effective 2025-09-02). 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.
