Senior Insurance Broker, Director - Transport Specialist
As Director of Morgan Insurance Brokers, Lauren has spent over seven years embedded in the realities of Australian road transport. She’s not a generalist who dabbles in truck insurance. She’s built her brokerage around it working directly with owner-operators, fleet managers, freight forwarders, and logistics businesses who can’t afford to get their cover wrong.
Lauren knows that a damaged load, a write-off, or a liability claim doesn’t just cost money, it can threaten the entire business. That’s why she goes beyond placing policies. She reviews contracts, identifies coverage gaps, and builds insurance programs that actually reflect how your operation runs day to day.
When a claim hits, Lauren doesn’t hand you off to a call centre. She’s the one on the phone with the insurer, pushing for a fast and fair outcome while you focus on keeping your fleet moving.
If you’re serious about protecting your transport business, Lauren Spice is the broker who gets it done.

Frequently asked questions about Transport Insurance
Your frequently asked questions about Transport Insurance
Goods in transit covers the physical loss or damage to cargo while it’s being transported. Freight insurance is a broader term that can also include liability for the freight charges themselves. As a broker, we help you identify which cover, or combination, suits your operation.
Yes. Even if you’re a single truck operator, you’re exposed to significant liability if goods are lost or damaged in your care. Many contracts and freight agreements also require you to hold a minimum level of goods in transit cover before you can work with larger logistics companies.
Premiums vary depending on the type of goods carried, annual freight value, distance travelled, claims history, and coverage limits. Rather than a one-size-fits-all price, a broker compares multiple insurers to find the most competitive rate for your specific operation.
Even if the damage wasn’t your fault, you may still be held legally responsible under your freight contract. A goods in transit or carrier’s liability policy protects you in these situations and covers legal defence costs if a claim is disputed.
In most cases, yes. Brokers have access to a panel of insurers including specialist transport underwriters not available to the public and can negotiate coverage terms tailored to your business, rather than an off-the-shelf policy that may leave gaps
