Starting a trucking company is exciting — but getting insurance with a new MC number or new DOT authority is one of the biggest hurdles.
Most carriers avoid brand-new ventures because there’s no driving or loss history.

- Dry van
- Hotshot truck
- Box truck
- Reefer
- Flatbed

—we help new trucking companies in Tempe find strong coverage at competitive rates.
