Transportation insurance support, auto to cargo.

Commercial lines support for agencies with transportation books. Trucking fleets, last-mile delivery, towing, garage operations, and specialty haulers. Auto liability, motor truck cargo, MOD management, and the DOT compliance discipline that decides whether a renewal closes.

Transportation is the line where DOT compliance, MOD management, and driver retention all live in the same submission, and getting one wrong loses the renewal. A fleet’s CSA scores, MVRs, and loss runs read together as the carrier’s risk picture. The submission either tells that story coherently or it doesn’t.

I service transportation accounts ranging from owner-operators to multi-state fleets. The work spans new business quoting with detailed unit schedules, certificate management for shippers and brokers, mid-term truck additions and deletions, audit support, and the renewal lifecycle from prep through bind. The discipline is documentation: drivers, units, MVRs, CSA, loss runs all current.

Coverages I work with daily

What construction accounts actually need

No. 01

DOT compliance support.

USDOT and MC numbers verified, CSA scores monitored, BOC-3 filings current. Compliance gaps surface during underwriting; better to catch them in submission prep.

No. 02

Driver MVR tracking.

MVRs current within 12 months, violation thresholds tracked, hiring criteria documented. The single biggest driver of MOD impact in trucking.

No. 03

Fleet changes.

Truck additions, deletions, replacements, and trailer adds and swaps processed cleanly. Each unit verified against the schedule and bound at the right limit.

No. 04

Cargo coverage.

Commodity-specific limits, refrigeration breakdown, cargo theft sublimits, broker liability. Cargo claims fail when the wrong commodity is listed.

No. 05

MOD management.

Construction is appetite-sensitive. I know which carriers write trade contractors, who's open to artisan, who's writing residential vs commercial, and where E&S is the right move. Less ping-pong, more bound business.

No. 06

Carrier placement.

Trucking is appetite-heavy. Long-haul vs short-haul, refrigerated vs dry van, owner-operator vs employee driver, each affects market access. I know who writes what.

If your transportation book has DOT complexity and MOD pressure, let’s talk.

Whether it’s overflow on a busy fleet renewal, dedicated support for a single trucking client, or full back-office for your transportation vertical, I plug into your AMS, review the unit schedule, and start clearing endorsements by week one.
