For Some Commercial Auto Insurance is Easy to Get …. For Others It Can Be Tougher

Many insurance companies have a long list of qualifications that many small trucking firms have a hard time meeting in order to get adequate coverage for their drivers and trucks.  The goal sometimes seems to be to turn away business instead of working with you to help solve your problem.

For Those Where Everything is not Perfect

The Mitchell Agency, through Acuity Insurance, has a program that offers insurance coverage to companies that may not meet normal guidelines.  This program is designed for businesses where the class, vehicle types and driver characteristics might otherwise be unacceptable.

Do you have a driver with a record of chargeable accidents, a DUI or minor traffic violations?  Are you a sand and gravel hauler?  A scrap metal or salvage dealer?

Is your business just a year old or your trucks have some years on them?  These are all situations that can be considered through the Acuity Insurance program.

  • Motor Vehicle Records for all Classes of Business
    * Any driver with up to 20 MVR points
