Transportation Insurance Experts for Trucking Insurance
A Transportation Risk Specialist (TRS) may be your key to finding affordable, FMCSA-compliant coverage for Motor Carriers looking for Commercial Transport Insurance.
All Transportation Insurance Experts have specialized training to navigate the complex world of all kinds of Commercial Truck Insurance, ensuring you get the right protection without overpaying.
Most of these agents and brokers spend their day working with different commercial truck insurance providers nationwide to find the best coverage for what you do.
Are most Transportation Insurance Experts TRS Certified?
Unlike general agents, true Transportation Coverage Specialists understand the unique risks of trucking—from Commercial Vans to Hot Shots and Farm Goods to Steel Haulers.
Commercial Transport Insurance is rife with costly gaps in coverage because the devil’s in the details.
Transportation Insurance Experts know how to secure the most competitive rates while staying completely covered and compliant with federal regulations.
Most of these agents are National Transportation Insurance Specialists, meaning they offer services in multiple states across the country.
For example, when you see the TRS designation, you know you’re working with an MCIEF Certified Transportation Risk Specialist who has studied and mastered the art of Commercial Truck Insurance.
MCIEF stands for the Motor Carrier Insurance Education Foundation, the organization behind the TRS Certification.
