Our underwriting team focuses on trucking and transportation exposures and works with a panel of financially sound carriers to deliver practical, market-aware solutions for commercial auto risks.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
The program has a broad appetite across many transportation-related classes. Typical accounts that fit well include:
Armored cars
Building material haulers
Contractors (vehicle fleets supporting trades)
Courier and distribution services (magazines, newspapers, wholesale/retail delivery)
Cranes & boom trucks
Dairies, food delivery and food trucks
Driver training — auto, truck & tractor
Escort vehicles and mobile offices
Funeral operations
Farmer vehicles
Waste disposal (note: no landfill exposure)
Classes not listed may still be considered on a case-by-case basis; reach out with details to confirm appetite.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
Primary commercial auto liability and physical damage options tailored to trucking and specialty vehicle fleets.
Available extensions commonly used by transportation accounts: hired/non-owned auto, trailer interchange, cargo coverage where appropriate, and medical payments/UM/UIM as allowed by the market.
Access to multiple underwriting teams and carrier relationships through Amwins’ transportation platform, improving chances to place complex or specialty risks.
Underwriters experienced in occupational and operational exposures typical to delivery, contractor, and fleet operations.
Example Accounts
A regional courier fleet with mixed package delivery vehicles and hired drivers that needs liability plus hired/non-owned auto protection.
A contractor with building material haulers and several jobsite trucks seeking combined liability and physical damage coverage with flexible limits and deductible options.
Underwriting Notes and Documentation
Underwriting considers fleet composition, vehicle types, driver qualifications, loss history, and territory of operations.
Common submission items: current loss runs, schedule of vehicles, driver lists/MVRs, and a description of operations and controls (especially for driver training or armored operations).
