Since the first wave of insurance technology companies in the mid-2010’s, there has been a strong push within the insurance industry to create fully digital insurance products.

This is for good reason: digital products are often easier to understand, don’t require lengthy phone calls / emails, and are available for purchase 24/7. Even with this digital product push among the broader insurance landscape — when it comes to trucking insurance and trucking insurance companies — distribution technology has stagnated. For the 15+ million trucks on the road, getting insurance is a headache.

That changes today.
