Our commitment to our transportation customers goes well beyond insurance products. We are knowledgeable in driver safety training and best practices, and we’re here to personally help you structure a platform for safety. The latest technologies play a critical role in adding value to our services as well. We’re a channel partner with Alert Driving, which promotes a safer workforce by identifying risky behaviors of drivers. We also partner with DriveCam by Lytx, state-of-the-art video camera technology that identifies the causes of poor driving before they lead to a collision. This “programmatic approach” helps transform the client’s safety culture – while protecting their drivers and their brand. It’s all part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at promoting safer driving, and consequently, better loss control and better rates.

“Working with Joe is a pleasure—both professionally and personally. We value his friendship, as well as his expertise as an insurance agent/consultant, which enables us to make informed business decisions. Joe always shops multiple markets to get us competitive quotes and is very prompt delivering them at renewal time. He has surrounded himself with competent support staff who are eager to help us whenever we need it.

Hope you have a good weekend!”
