NEW VENTURES

Starting a Trucking Company? Build the Insurance Piece Correctly From Day One.

New authority and new venture trucking insurance starts with a clear picture of how your operation will run. RIG helps you prepare the insurance side of the conversation, subject to underwriting and market availability.

A PRACTICAL START

Insurance Is One Part of the Launch

A new trucking business may need to coordinate business formation, USDOT registration, operating authority where required, insurance, applicable federal or state filings, equipment, drivers, safety and compliance programs, and shipper or broker requirements.

RiverBend Insurance Group focuses on insurance and insurance-related guidance. We can help you understand the information insurance markets may request and discuss coverage options that may fit your planned operation. We do not provide legal, regulatory, authority-registration, or compliance advice.

Equipment & Cargo

Vehicle type, stated values, trailers, commodities hauled, and any specialized equipment.

Routes & Mileage

Operating radius, primary states, interstate or intrastate activity, and projected annual mileage.
