Built for Trucking Companies That Don’t Fit the Standard Insurance Boxes

Who We Help

Dragonfly Insurance works with trucking companies that traditional insurance markets struggle to support — not because they’re bad operators, but because their business is new, evolving, or doesn’t fit standard underwriting models.

You might be here because:

  • You’re a new venture or recently received operating authority

  • Your policy was non-renewed or canceled

  • Multiple carriers declined to quote

  • Prior losses or violations changed your risk profile

  • You added equipment, drivers, or routes and outgrew your policy

  • You were told coverage would need to be specialty or surplus lines

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Trucking Operations We Commonly Work With

We regularly place coverage for:

  • New venture motor carriers

  • Owner-operators and small fleets

  • Power-only and leased-on operations

  • Hotshot and light-duty trucking

  • Local, regional, and interstate carriers

  • Specialized freight or non-standard cargo

If your operation isn’t listed, that’s okay — complexity is our focus.

Experienced With Complex Trucking Risks

  • Deep experience placing new venture and hard-to-place trucking risks

  • Established relationships across specialty and surplus lines markets

  • Familiarity with DOT filings, authority requirements, and compliance timelines

  • Fast turnaround when bind deadlines are tight

  • Clear guidance on pricing, structure, and coverage tradeoffs

Why Trucking Companies Choose Dragonfly

Most brokers focus on established fleets with clean loss histories — and avoid the rest.

We do the opposite.

What you can expect:

  • An honest, upfront assessment of what’s possible

  • Access to specialty trucking and surplus lines carriers

  • Clear explanation of tradeoffs (price, limits, deductibles)

  • Fast movement when you need coverage to operate

  • Support as your business stabilizes and grows

We’re not here to promise the cheapest rate.
We’re here to help you get covered — and stay on the road.

How It Works

1. Quick Intake
Tell us about your operation, authority status, equipment, and timing.

2. Market Assessment
We determine whether standard, specialty, or surplus lines markets are appropriate — and explain why.

3. Placement Strategy
We approach the right carriers, structure the submission properly, and move quickly.

4. Ongoing Support
As your operation matures, we help you improve insurability and expand options over time.

A Note on New Venture & Specialty Trucking Coverage

For new or complex trucking operations, coverage is often placed through specialty or surplus lines carriers. This can mean higher premiums, different policy structures, or stricter terms — especially early on.

What it also means is certainty, compliance, and the ability to operate legally.

We’ll be transparent with you at every step.
