The fleet-switch playbook

    Switching shouldn't park a single truck.

    Here's exactly what happens, day by day, when you move your fleet to us. No coverage gap. No paperwork on your desk. Under an hour of your time.

    Coverage continuity

    Old policy

    Cutover

    New policy

    Zero seconds without active coverage.
    The four things every fleet manager worries about

    All four, handled.

    Here's how we flip each one.

    0

    minutes uninsured

    No coverage gap

    Your new policy is bound and effective the moment your old one ends — never before, never after.

    12+

    filings we handle for you

    Zero paperwork on you

    BMC-91, lienholder letters, broker COIs, state notifications, old-carrier cancellation — all us.

    <1 hr

    of your time, total

    Done in a lunch break

    Quote review, signatures, broker list — totalled across the entire switch. Nothing dragged out.

    The 14-day playbook

    Day by day, what actually happens

    Day 0

    Quote accepted, policy bound

    You sign. We bind coverage with the new carrier with an effective date that lines up to the day your old policy ends. No earlier, no later.

    Day 1–3

    We prep every filing

    BMC-91, lienholder notification letters, IFTA/state filings, list of every broker and shipper holding your COI on file. You confirm one email list and we take it from there.

    Day 4–7

    Filings submitted, COIs issued

    BMC-91 hits FMCSA. Lienholders receive their updated certificates. Every broker on your list gets a fresh COI in their inbox — usually before they think to ask.

    Day 7–14

    Cutover + cancellation

    New policy goes live. We send the cancellation notice to your prior carrier on your behalf and start tracking your refund. You don't make a single phone call.

    Getting your money back

    What happens to your old policy's premium

    Two scenarios. We tell you which one applies before you switch.

    Most common

    Pro-rata refund

    Most commercial trucking carriers refund unused premium on a pro-rata basis — you get back every day you paid for and didn't use. We make sure the cancellation is processed cleanly so this is exactly what you receive.

    Worst case

    Short-rate penalty

    Some carriers apply a short-rate penalty (typically 10% of the refund) if you cancel mid-term. When this happens, we'll tell you the exact dollar impact before you decide — and in many cases we can negotiate a waiver.

    We track your refund until it lands

    After cancellation, your prior carrier has a state-mandated window to issue the refund (typically 30–45 days). We follow up at the right intervals so it doesn't get forgotten.
