Michele McGinnis, co-founder and CEO of MiKargo247, said, “We developed MiKargo247 to fill a dangerous hole in the market.
“It’s estimated that over 60% of cargo on the road goes uninsured daily, racking up $15+ Billion worth of damages that cannot be recouped. With MiKargo, not only are shippers and freight brokers protected with an all-risk policy if something goes wrong, but the truckers can now haul previously uninsurable loads, ultimately making them more money and freight brokers can expand capacity to satisfy their customer needs as well.”
