Commercial trucks lined up at a terminal

Underwriters price your CSA scores, your driver turnover, and your accident register. The premium follows the safety program, in that order.

Filings and compliance

MCS-90, state filings, and certificate requirements coordinated so a filing delay never takes a truck off the road.

The program we build

The pieces, and what each one is actually for.

Line

Auto liability

Primary limits at the level your shippers and brokers require, commonly one million combined single limit with filings attached.

Line

Motor truck cargo

Freight in your care, custody, and control, with attention to refrigeration breakdown, theft, and the commodities you actually haul.

Line

Physical damage

Tractors, trailers, and upfitted units on a stated amount basis, with gap considerations on financed equipment.

Line

Trailer interchange

Coverage for trailers you pull under interchange or lease agreements, which your auto liability alone does not address.

Line

Excess liability

Layered limits over auto, addressing shipper contract requirements and nuclear verdict exposure.

Line

Workers' compensation and occupational accident

Employees, owner operators, and the classification question that decides which product applies.

What moves your rate

Transportation is priced on data you already generate. The question is whether your submission presents it or hides it.

  • CSA BASIC scores, particularly unsafe driving and hours of service compliance.
  • Driver turnover rate, which underwriters treat as the leading indicator of future loss frequency.
  • Radius, commodity, and whether operations include hazmat, oversize, or passenger transport.
  • Camera and telematics adoption, now the difference between a quote and a decline at many markets.
  • Loss runs at five years rather than three, because auto severity develops slowly and carriers will ask.

How we market a fleet

Work the inputs before working the market.

Step 01

Build the safety narrative

Hiring standards, training, camera policy, and post accident review documented as a package rather than an afterthought.

Step 02

Clean up the data

Vehicle schedule, driver list, and radius verified against the ELD and the DOT record so nothing contradicts.

Step 03

Approach the right layer

Primary and excess marketed separately when that produces a better structure than a single carrier program.

Step 04

Manage claims actively

Early intervention on auto claims protects the loss run that prices your next three renewals.

Questions we get

Straight answers.

How early should we start a trucking renewal?

One hundred twenty days. Transportation submissions take longer to market, underwriters ask for more, and filings have to be sequenced so nothing lapses at midnight on the effective date.

Will cameras really change our pricing?

Materially. Forward and driver facing cameras change both the credit you receive and the outcome of disputed claims. The savings on a single defended accident usually exceeds the installation cost across the fleet.

Can you write a new venture authority?

Yes, with a plan. New authority is a hard placement, and the path involves experienced drivers, a written safety program, and realistic expectations about first year pricing before it improves.
