Plug In to Alternative Power

It has long been the practice of truck drivers to idle their engines while stopped for extended periods of time.

These disadvantages have pushed many to seek alternative energy sources.  more >>


Stomp Out Slips and Falls

Slips and falls account for more than 30 percent of injuries to our insureds. In an effort to reduce that number, we conducted a trial to determine if a good pair of shoes could make the difference between being injured and staying on the road. Find out the results and how you can get a pair of discounted slip resistant shoes.  more >>
