“We want to insure your trucking business,” says Melissa Winter, President. “Acuity is committed to supporting truckers and delivering products and services that provide protection they can count on.”

 

“We know that truckers have more choices in today’s increasingly competitive insurance marketplace, but there’s a reason why we protect nearly 50,000 trucks on the road today,” says Neil Argall, Vice President – Commercial Insurance.

 

Here are the top 5 reasons to write truckers with Acuity:

 

1. Market Stability

 

Acuity is a consistent partner for you in trucking, unlike other companies that keep you guessing. We insure everything from tractor-trailers to vans and owner-operators to large fleets.

 

“We’re not a drive-by carrier that pistons in and out of the trucking marketplace. You can depend on Acuity to be in it for the long haul,” says Wally Waldhart, Vice President – Distribution.  

 

We are also a strong advocate for the trucking industry, including through our longstanding support of regional and national trucking associations.

 

2. Expanding Appetite

 

Acuity continues to grow our trucking eligibility to make it even easier to write business with us. Recent expansions include milk haulers, double trailers, and workers’ compensation for livestock haulers.
