We Deliver Protection for the Road Ahead
USI's Transportation Practice delivers thorough custom risk management programs for each client. Our team of transportation industry experts work across a wide range of companies in the transportation and logistics space.
USI Insurance has a proven track record of successfully advising transportation and logistics companies on creative ways to reduce costs, mitigate ongoing risks, strengthening protections, providing risk control resources, delivering claims support on their side, and guiding clients on business risks. This is the accomplished through years of industry expertise, exclusive programs, and market leading analytics (USI OMNI).
A way USI Insurance stands out from our peers is that our approach & process is focused on helping companies reduce overall costs, not just the insurance policy. In working with clients we become their risk manager on retainer. In this role we always find that by helping reduce risk to insurance costs there is an opportunity to reduce costs in other areas at the same time. This holistic approach helps out clients to become more profitable than before.
Case Study: USI's Loss Control Team Helps Client Comply with USDOT Regulations, Retain over $1 Million in Revenue and Reduce Potential Premium Increases by more than $80,000
A USI Transportation client was having problems with their Hours of Service and Driver Logs causing inquiries from the USDOT and making some of their large shipper clients nervous. USI’s Loss Control Specialists extensively reviewed the account and helped create a Corrective Action report to address USDOT concerns. USI provided sample documents and peer comparisons to substantiate key action items. The Corrective Action report was accepted by the USDOT, preventing regulatory action against the client enabling them to retain over $1 Million in potential lost revenue from shippers threating to leave. USI further leveraged the report with insurance carriers helping the client avoid premium increases of over $80,000 annually.
