Who should typically be contacted regarding cargo removal from an accident scene?

Contacting the trucking company or insurance provider is essential for cargo removal from an accident scene, as they are the parties responsible for managing the freight involved in the accident. The trucking company has the authority and knowledge about the cargo, including its handling and any necessary procedures for safe removal. Insurance providers may also play a crucial role, particularly in coordinating claims and providing the necessary documentation to facilitate the removal process.

In addition, the trucking company often has specific protocols for cargo recovery and can dispatch personnel or equipment to assist in the removal effectively and efficiently. This ensures that the cargo is handled appropriately while minimizing further disruptions to traffic and potential hazards at the incident site.
