How it works

The schedule, the work, and what it costs

Ninety days is enough when every step has a date. Here's what a review usually finds, and exactly how a renewal runs with us.

Results

What clients get back

Illustrative — based on a representative engagement for a 64-unit reefer fleet, 84 days before renewal.

Time saved

We dealt with the brokers and the client's own staff for the entire process — every call, every document request — and reported back to the client instead of routing everything through them.

Money saved

We negotiated premiums and broker fees directly, using our knowledge of what the marketplace will actually bear rather than accepting the first number offered.

The right markets

We qualified each broker against the markets they represent, confirmed every relevant market was covered, and recommended markets the current brokers hadn't explored.

Coverage gaps closed

We reviewed every coverage required by the shippers and carriers, then checked every proposed coverage and declarations page against our requirements before anything was bound.

The review

What we usually find

Almost every trucking program we've read had at least one of these. The owner didn't know to ask, and the broker didn't bring it up.

Hired & non-owned auto
Coverage missing entirely, even though the fleet regularly uses owner-operators or rented equipment.
Driver exclusions
Buried in a driver-based policy, quietly dropping coverage for specific drivers.
Reefer breakdown vs. spoilage
Confused with cargo spoilage coverage — often only one of the two is actually in force.
Trailer interchange vs. non-owned
Confused with non-owned trailer coverage, leaving a gap depending on whose trailer is behind the truck.
Defense costs, inside limits
Sitting inside the policy limit instead of outside it, which quietly shrinks what's left to pay a claim.
Stacked broker fees
A broker fee stacked on top of full commission, for services nobody can point to.
The schedule

How a renewal runs with us

Your broker still places the coverage. They just have to earn it.

We run point

Throughout the 90 days, we're the ones on the phone and email with your brokers and coordinating with your own staff — gathering loss runs, exposure data, and signatures — so nothing stalls and nothing falls on your team to chase.

90 days out
Loss runs requested: five years, carrier-issued, valued current. Exposure data rebuilt — units, drivers, radius reconciled against ELD and IFTA, shipper contract requirements pulled.
75–80 days
Brokers engaged and markets assigned in writing — two brokers, three at most. The submission is prepared, the bad year explained in your words, reviewed by us, and sent to the assigned markets.
30 days out
All quotes due, with each broker's commission and fees disclosed in writing. Coverage compared form by form, not premium against premium.
20 days out
Decision, with a written recommendation. Binding instructions issued. Binders checked against what was quoted, filings confirmed before the effective date.
After binding
Policies audited against the binder within 30 days. This is where the errors live, and where nobody has ever looked.
Services

How we work with you

One relationship, two stages.

1

Free preview & advise

We review your current policy and your prior proposal at no cost and tell you plainly what we see — coverage gaps, pricing red flags, and whether a full renewal engagement is worth it for your fleet. No obligation, no fee.

2

Full renewal management

If it makes sense to move forward, we run the entire 90-day schedule: broker coordination, market allocation, submission review, compensation disclosure, quote comparison, and post-bind audit. One fixed fee for the cycle, agreed up front.

How we're paid, and how we're not

A flat fee, agreed before the work starts. It doesn't move with the outcome. We take no commission, no contingent, no override, and no referral fee from any broker, carrier, wholesaler, or vendor — it's written into every engagement letter. Your broker's compensation is disclosed to you in writing, and you decide what it's worth.
