What Types of Transportation Insurance is Available?
Our preferred exposures are generally low risk, such as dry van, cargo, intermodal and refrigerated trucks. We avoid riskier exposures such as cattle and livestock, garbage haulers, and sand and gravel trucks. Focusing on low-risk exposures helps keep our premiums competitive while also maintaining profitability for our company and our agents.
The product we offer can also be tailored to fit the demands of individual fleets. We provide $1 million Combined Single Limit auto liability for fleets with the ability to write up to $2 million. Additionally, while our maximum coverage for motor truck cargo is $500,000, we can customize this figure for loads that are valued lower. Our full line of coverage for both large and small fleets includes:

- Auto Physical Damage
- General Liability
- Motor Truck Cargo
- Trailer Interchange
- Hired/Non-owned
