Getting cargo from point A to point B may sound simple in theory. The reality, of course, is far from simple. Transportation and logistics businesses of all sizes and types deal with a complex web of interrelated elements such as regulations, licensing, and professional relationships. Managing all of that risk is just the base requirement success means you need an extra edge.
At Midwest Insurance Group (MIG), we aim to provide you with that advantage. We know your industry. We understand that safety and compliance are among your major concerns as a business. We are prepared to show you how you can minimize your risk while still taking the opportunities necessary to propel your operations forward.
Every transportation business is different. Hotshot trucker insurance packages must be structured significantly differently from those for parcel delivery services, for example. We will help you determine the exact coverage you need but only after an initial consultation and a good look at your unique situation.
Complete Truck and Transportation Coverage
That said, it’s possible to make some generalizations about the industry’s insurance needs in general. Many of our transportation clients carry a mix of truck and non-truck insurance. Specialized truck insurance covers your fleet outside of normal loss scenarios examples would be bobtail policies or towing coverage. Other types of insurance may cover losses related to employee practices, contractual liabilities, and a variety of other business risks.
