What does Freight claim mean in logistics?
Short answer
A demand by the shipper or consignee against the carrier or insurer for cargo lost, short-delivered, damaged or delayed. It is supported by the consignment note, invoice, remarks on the proof of delivery and a survey report where needed.
Record shortage or damage as a specific remark on the POD at delivery; a clean POD makes a claim much harder. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
