Spotlight on Small Fleet Trucking:
Reduced
Rates Now Available

Sagamore Insurance Company, rated A+ (Superior) by AM Best, has recently reduced their Small Fleet Trucking rates in Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah. This program is available online for agents to quote and bind trucking companies with six or fewer trucks.

Our Small Fleet Trucking program offers your agency competitive commission and Point of Sale binding capabilities.  You can use your Small Fleet Trucking code to quote and bind coverage in any state where we offer the program and your agency is currently licensed.

Underwriting Tips

Billing
To maximize your efficiency, you can now defer customers to Sagamore for all of their payment processing needs. As a Sagamore agent, all you need to do is bind coverage and collect the initial payment—leave the rest to us! The initial down payment (deposit and down payment) will be billed on your monthly commission statement. Please do not send the deposit and down payment directly to Sagamore. Pay from your monthly commission statement.

Commodities
Our Small Fleet Trucking program offers competitive rates for a variety of commodities. General Freight, produce, packaged food, grain, lumber, logs and autos are some commonly-written goods.  

Quality Assurance Calls
Sagamore conducts a quality assurance call with each of our new customers shortly after policy binding. We do this to provide a superior level of service and ensure customer satisfaction. When binding coverage, please inform the insured that they will be contacted by a Sagamore underwriter to verify several pieces of information including mileage, commodities and routes traveled. We will only ask the questions that appear on the application.
