Description

If your client has risks in the transportation of goods, Bellingham Underwriters (BU), can help.  Our Transportation program has the capability to write a broad range of risks from owner-operators to large fleets, and from extra-heavy truck tractors to light vans, box trucks, and pickups.  We write motor carriers hauling a product for hire as well as private motor carriers hauling their own goods. Our appetite is broad because our knowledge and experience are extensive.

 

WHAT’S NEW

We are excited to announce a new excess product for your insureds. Through our established relationship with Hudson Insurance Group, starting 10/1/22, we will resume offering $1MM over our primary commercial trucking policies. This product is non-admitted giving us flexibility and a broadened solution in offering higher limits. Our Excess Program will offer increased limits of $1MM over our underlying commercial trucking policies.
