What’s New for 2026
For years, you have been sending BDI your trucking accounts. And while we still write a diverse book of trucking, we are seeing success in areas you may not have to come to us for before. While the appetite of your standard markets is starting to reflect the same challenges the trucking markets have been talking about for the last few years, we have been helping our agents with the placement of commercial auto accounts that are no longer being offered as part of a standard market package.
Some factors driving these away from the standard market appear to be the number of changes to vehicle schedules and drivers within a short amount of time, newer accounts, loss history, driver qualifications, and even vehicle type. Examples of the more common risks being required to split away from the packaged policy are:
- Contractors
- Home Health Nursing
- Janitorial Services
- Mobile Mechanics
- Traffic Control / Flagging
- Landscape Contractors
- Event Promoters
- And many more
Other areas to think of are going to be with your public auto/livery risks. We continue to grow our book of business with courtesy shuttles, taxi, buses, church vans/buses, and even restaurant delivery – delivery hired and non-owned risks.
In 2026, we will continue to provide top-tier service and response to all your trucking needs, but keep in mind, we can change things up and do so much more.
