To understand the advantages of why Independent Insurance Agencies have a clear advantage over Direct Writers you first must understand the differences.
Independent Agencies have access to hundreds of different insurance companies that specialize in trucking insurance. Many of which most people have never heard of because they don’t advertise like the more common TV and Billboard insurance companies (Think Progressive, Nationwide, GEICO).
Independent Agencies do use these companies, but also have access to many more that don’t spend millions of dollars per year on advertising cost, but instead use the independent channel to sell their insurance. Many of times these insurance companies can offer a much better price because they don’t spend millions on advertising. The key is we can shop and compare, saving you time and money!
Direct Writers on the other hand only sell insurance for their company. No comparison shopping, no dedicated agent to speak with…with them you are just a policy number. Also, they may not even be able to offer you coverage. Certain insurance companies only write certain classes of trucking insurance or a certain DOT out-of-service score.
At Barbee Jackson Insurance you are not a policy number, you are a valued client. Dedicated agents that understand Trucking Insurance and are happy to work with you to find the right coverage at the best.
Not all Independent Agencies are the same. Some specialize in home and auto insurance…those types of agencies may not have the expertise to handle trucking insurance. Get it right the first time by calling Barbee Jackson Insurance today (850) 389-2001

5 Advantages for Truckers - Barbee Jackson Insurance
Multiple Quotes - As pointed out earlier, we can compare rates with multiple insurance companies. The direct writers (who we also work with) will just give you their price. This means you spend the entire day on the phone trying to find the best price. With us…one phone call
Mix and Match - Truckers typically need these three insurance coverages…physical damage, auto liability and cargo. Sometimes it is cheaper to split these coverages with other insurance companies. We will compare all options to make sure you are getting the best price.
Dreaded DOT Number - Many truckers and fleet operators don’t know that what you mark on cargo hauled on the Department of Transportation (DOT) affects price. Unlike Direct Writers that only go off a phone script, we will analyze your cargo hauled and make recommendations that can save you thousands of dollars on your insurance.
Phone Prompts - The worse thing about the Direct Writes is the Phone Prompts! Press 1 now…Press 13 now…Please hold….Your hold time is 25 minutes. Don’t even get us started with the new AI voice commands. With Barbee Jackson there are no phone prompts, just a real person ready to help.
Additional Coverages - You may not just need the basic three coverages. Maybe you need General Liability or Workers Compensation. Many of these Direct Writers only offer trucking insurance and don’t have the option to include additional insurance lines. As an independent writer of trucking insurance we can get you these additional lines of insurance.
