Let's face it, insurance is a relationship business. To use a legal analogy, think about us as the lawyer who knows the judge. While market access is important, we think that relationships with your underwriters are more important. Our advantage is that we can secure the most competitive terms from our insurance markets using our knowledge, experience and reputation.
Our people are our biggest advantage. Our staff has a thorough understanding of the trucking industry. All of our agents go through a specialized training to stay updated on trucking regulations and insurance coverage updates. If you have a question- simply call us. We may not have all the answers, but we'll do our best to find out.

To help us better understand your trucking operation, please complete this quote sheet. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete.

To stay legal while on the road, you will need Primary Trucking Liability Insurance as a minimum. This is usually the most costly portion of any trucking company's insurance package. Primary liability will pay for injuries to other drivers on the road and any damage to public property that may be caused from an accident.
As a common or contract carrier, you are responsible for the goods you transport. This exposure is covered by Motor Truck Cargo Insurance. This coverage protects you if you're legally liable for damage, destruction, or other loss to a customer's property while in your possession. The cargo policy can also contain provisions to insure the cargo when it is in your terminal or warehouse.
Non-Trucking Liability Insurance (NTLI) provides coverage in case you cause an accident while you are using your vehicle for non-business or personal use other than transporting goods or merchandise. Non-Trucking Liability coverage does not apply when you are pulling a loaded trailer, operating on behalf of a motor carrier / leasing company, or using a vehicle for any revenue generating purpose.

As the Risk Manager for APL Cargo, Teo worked hard on our renewal policies this year to ensure that we had the best coverage possible and fully researched our options. Having been an insurance agent for 20 years, I appreciate the attention to detail and personalized service this agency has given to us.

We are very happy to have made the switch to Colonial. They were able to tailor plans to our needs and are always responsive and easy to reach when needed. They are knowledgeable and don't mind taking the time to explain things when we have questions. Such a nice change from the larger agencies we used in the past! Highly recommend this small local agency.
