This year’s focus areas are especially important for carriers to get ahead of:

• ELD tampering and record accuracy
• Cargo securement

At Reliance Partners, we’re working closely with our clients to ensure they’re prepared—not just for Roadcheck, but for long-term compliance.

ELD Compliance: Expect a Deeper Review

Electronic Logging Devices were introduced to simplify hours-of-service compliance, but enforcement has evolved. Inspectors are no longer relying solely on what’s shown in the device.

Instead, they’re verifying records against multiple data sources, including fuel receipts, toll activity, and shipping documents. Any inconsistencies can quickly escalate into a full review.

Inspectors will also be reviewing up to eight days of logs, meaning issues from earlier in the week can still impact a driver during Roadcheck.

What carriers should be doing now:

• Review and audit driver logs across your fleet
• Confirm all ELDs are compliant and properly functioning
• Reinforce correct usage with drivers (especially personal conveyance)
• Address any discrepancies before inspections begin

In today’s enforcement environment, even small inconsistencies can lead to violations—and in some cases, drivers being placed out of service.

Cargo Securement: A Focus Across All Equipment Types

Cargo securement continues to be one of the most common inspection violations, and it’s a key focus for 2026.

While flatbeds often receive the most attention, enforcement applies to all types of equipment. Inspectors will be evaluating anything that could shift or come loose, including:

• Freight and load stability
• Chains, straps, and binders
• Tarps, load bars, and spare equipment

Key reminders for carriers:

• Ensure cargo is fully secured to prevent shifting or loss
• Understand and verify working load limits
• Remember that inspectors evaluate the entire system based on its weakest point

A simple rule to keep in mind: your securement system must meet at least half the weight of the load in total working load limit.

Best practices to reinforce with drivers:

• Take extra time to properly secure loads before departure
• Recheck securement throughout the trip
• Carry additional securement equipment when possible
• Use edge protection to prevent strap wear
• When unsure, add another point of securement

After the Inspection: Protecting Your CSA Score

Even with strong preparation, violations can happen. When they do, they can impact your CSA scores, insurance costs, and overall operational performance.

Carriers have the ability to challenge inaccurate inspection data through FMCSA’s DataQs system, which allows for review and potential correction of violations.

Our Safety Impact Team works directly with clients to navigate this process and improve outcomes, because managing risk doesn’t stop at the roadside.

Taking a Proactive Approach

International Roadcheck may last just three days, but the standards it enforces apply year-round.

The carriers who see the most success are those who treat this as an opportunity to:

• Strengthen internal processes
• Educate and support drivers
• Identify and correct issues before they become violations

A proactive approach today can help avoid disruptions tomorrow.

For a more in-depth look at what to expect during this year’s Roadcheck, we encourage you to read the full article from our friends at FreightWaves.

At Reliance Partners, we work alongside motor carriers every day to help them navigate these realities. Recently, our Executive Vice President of Sales, Jackson Alexander, shared insight with FreightWaves on the forces shaping today’s insurance landscape – and what carriers must do to stay competitive and insurable.

Nuclear Verdicts Are Driving the Market

Nuclear verdicts have become one of the most significant drivers of insurance cost and availability. Since 2012, verdicts exceeding $1 million have increased by more than 235%, dramatically shifting how insurers evaluate risk.

For fleets, this has elevated the importance of proactive safety management. Preparation, documentation, and prevention are no longer best practices—they are underwriting requirements.

Reliance Partners’ in-house Safety Impact Team, made up of former state patrol officers, DOT inspectors, and insurance loss control professionals, works directly with clients to strengthen safety programs, improve CSA scores, and implement defensible risk management practices that stand up to scrutiny.

Carriers that demonstrate a proactive approach to safety are consistently better positioned when incidents occur and when underwriters evaluate risk.

Technology Is Now a Requirement, Not an Option

The underwriting process has evolved rapidly. What were once optional incentives—such as telematics sharing or in-cab cameras—are now increasingly required just to receive a quote.

Many insurance providers now mandate:

• Telematics data sharing

• In-cab camera systems

• Collision avoidance and monitoring technology

Fleets that choose not to adopt these tools are finding themselves excluded from preferred markets altogether. Technology-backed data has become a critical component of how insurers assess safety performance and long-term viability.

Capacity Remains Limited

Auto liability capacity remains constrained, forcing insurers to be highly selective. To access competitive programs, fleets must meet a narrow set of underwriting criteria, including:

• Favorable loss history

• Strong CSA scores

• A qualified and stable driver pool

• Documented safety procedures

• Consistent use of safety technology

Missing any one of these benchmarks can significantly limit options in today’s market.

Why More Fleets Are Exploring Captives and Higher Retentions

Commercial auto liability has been unprofitable for insurers for 14 consecutive years, creating sustained upward pressure on rates across the industry.

As a result, many well-managed fleets are exploring alternative strategies, including:

• Group captive insurance programs, which allow rates to be driven by member performance rather than market volatility

• Higher deductibles or retentions, enabling safety-focused carriers to assume more risk in exchange for greater long-term control

These approaches reward disciplined risk management and allow fleets to better align insurance costs with their actual safety performance.

A Mixed Outlook Across Other Coverage Lines

While auto liability remains the most challenged line, other coverages present a more balanced picture:

• Excess liability continues to experience pressure due to nuclear verdict exposure

• Auto physical damage has remained relatively stable

• Cargo insurance is seeing increases driven by theft and fraud trends

• Workers’ compensation and occupational accident coverage remains one of the few consistently profitable lines, often resulting in flat or reduced pricing

What This Means for Motor Carriers

Today’s insurance environment demands excellence across every dimension insurers evaluate. Fleets must invest in safety, embrace technology, maintain compliance, and actively manage loss history to remain competitive.

At Reliance Partners, we help carriers take a comprehensive, strategic approach to insurability—aligning safety, data, and coverage strategy to support long-term success in a difficult market.

There are a number of characteristics that distinguish companies recognized on this list, according to Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of Redefining the Road magazine. These characteristics include corporate cultures that foster gender diversity; competitive compensation and benefits; flexible hours and work requirements; professional development opportunities; and career advancement opportunities.

Identifying the companies on this list involves a two-step process, said Everett. First, nominations of the companies are received and carefully reviewed to ensure they qualify by meeting a minimum threshold of qualifications. Then the final ballot of companies is voted on by individuals in the industry. This is the eighth year of this prestigious recognition program, and it garnered more than 21,000 votes industry-wide to identify the final companies named to the list. The momentum of this program has continued to accelerate since it was first launched.

“This recognition program shines a light on leading companies in the trucking industry that are truly committed to advancing gender diversity within their workforce,” said Everett. “The most successful businesses consistently demonstrate that diverse leadership and teams bring broader perspectives and stronger outcomes. Honoring these companies affirms the meaningful progress they’ve made—and the recognition they’ve rightfully earned.”

This year, the list is comprised of a diverse range of business sectors in the commercial freight transportation marketplace, including motor carriers, third-party logistics companies, and original equipment manufacturers. These companies will be recognized at the upcoming WIT Accelerate! Conference & Expo Nov. 9-12 in Dallas, TX. International Motors is the sponsor of this year’s program.

The post Reliance Partners Named 2025 Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation appeared first on Commercial Transportation & Trucking Insurance - Reliance Partners.

An Agent of Record (AOR) or Broker of Record (BOR) form gives one agent exclusive rights to represent your account with an insurance company. Once you sign it, that agent controls your access to that market. No other agent can approach the same company for a quote on your behalf unless you revoke the form. 

At Reliance Partners, we often see these forms used as a shortcut. Some agents use them to “take over” a market they didn’t initially approach or to gain access to quotes our team worked hard to obtain. That’s not how we operate. We believe in earning your business the right way: through transparency, expertise, and results 

Why It Matters 

Every insurance quote involves significant work behind the scenes. Most of the markets we work with rely on human underwriters, not automated systems. Each submission takes time, documentation, and review. When multiple agents submit the same risk, underwriters usually stop processing duplicate submissions—meaning the first agent to approach that market “blocks” it. 

That’s why it’s so important to know which agents are shopping which markets. 

If one of our agents has already submitted your account and you sign an AOR/BOR without understanding its impact, it can delay the quoting process and limit your access to the best options. 

Reliance Partners represents more than 10,000 trucking clients and manages over $500 million in premium. Our scale and expertise allow us to bring you the strongest carrier relationships and most competitive quotes. But signing unnecessary AOR/BOR forms can muddy the waters and reduce our ability to move efficiently on your behalf. 

The Reliance Partners Difference 

At Reliance Partners, we don’t rely on paperwork tricks to win business; we rely on trust and performance. We approach every market strategically and communicate openly with you about where we’re quoting and why. 

Our goal is simple: to bring you the best coverage and pricing available, with full transparency throughout the process. You’ll always know which markets we’re pursuing, and we’ll never ask you to sign an AOR/BOR unless it’s truly in your best interest and you fully understand the implications. 

When an AOR/BOR Can Be Helpful 

There are legitimate reasons to use an AOR/BOR form, such as when: 

• You want to move your existing policy to a new agent without changing carriers. 

• You believe another agent (like Reliance Partners) can better service your account. 

• You need a more experienced partner to handle claims, renewals, or compliance more effectively. 

In those cases, our team will walk you through the process, explain what the form means, and make sure you remain fully in control of your coverage decisions. 

Bottom line: An AOR/BOR is a powerful tool—but one that should be used carefully. At Reliance Partners, we’re here to help you understand your options, protect your business, and keep the process honest, transparent, and always in your best interest. 

The post Understanding the Over-Abused AOR/BOR Form appeared first on Commercial Transportation & Trucking Insurance - Reliance Partners.

“Both motor carriers and freight brokers need cyber liability insurance, and the policy should include coverage for both financial loss and physical loss of goods,” says Jessie Merritt, EVP of Sales at Reliance Partners. “The digital nature of our current theft environment requires a similar risk management approach.”

Why cyber coverage now?

Threats have evolved well beyond classic phishing or wire fraud. Bad actors are:

• Spoofing identities (including deepfakes) and impersonating carriers or brokers

• Altering documents like Bills of Lading

• Acquiring small carriers to build trust, then stealing loads once lanes and processes are understood

“The level of attack we see today is different and constant,” Merritt notes. “It’s theft at a massive scale, and the broker or carrier’s cyber environment is the most critical entry point.”

What a strong cyber policy should do

A comprehensive cyber liability policy should:

• Cover financial losses (e.g., social engineering, ransom/extortion)

• Include property/physical loss elements tied to a cyber event (not just monetary damages)

• Provide incident response, legal guidance, and reputational support to restore operations

• Complement (not replace) your cargo policy (many cargo forms exclude cyber-triggered losses)

“A lot of protection is afforded by a good cyber policy as long as the insurer will pay some element of property damage in a claim and not just monetary damage,” says Merritt.

Risk is both “straight theft” and “strategic theft”

From ransomware-style load holds (e.g., a $40,000 ransom demand on a reefer) to sophisticated impersonation schemes, carriers and brokers face simultaneous physical and digital exposures. That’s why rounding out traditional insurance with cyber liability is now non-negotiable.

“We’re encouraging clients to buy coverage in a way that reflects their risk,” Merritt adds. “Rounding out coverage with cyber liability is now necessary to reduce that risk.”

Prevention + Protection

Insurance is just one layer. Strengthen your defenses with:

• Identity verification: Rigorously verify subcontractors and carrier IDs; use carrier identity solutions and real-time alerts

• Document integrity: Validate Bills of Lading and rate confirmations; train teams to spot alterations

• Cyber hygiene: MFA everywhere, least-privilege access, patching cadence, phishing simulations, vendor risk reviews

• Operational controls: Real-time load tracking, geo-fencing, pickup/delivery PINs, and escalation protocols

• Playbooks: Clear incident response plans that coordinate IT, legal, ops, and insurance notification steps

How Reliance Partners can help

We build coverage programs that align with your real-world exposure across cargo, contingent cargo/primary cargo, and cyber liability and we pair them with practical loss-control guidance so you’re not just reacting, you’re preventing.

Let’s pressure-test your program. We’ll review your current policies, identify cyber-related exclusions that could leave gaps, and recommend coverage and control upgrades tailored to your lanes, tech stack, and partners.

The post Fourth Annual Trucking Matters Seminar Series 2025 Recap appeared first on Commercial Transportation & Trucking Insurance - Reliance Partners.

On June 17, 2025, Reliance Partners proudly hosted the 8th Annual Modernization of Cross-Border Trade event at the Laredo Country Club in Laredo, Texas. With over 500 logistics professionals in attendance, this year marked our largest and most impactful event to date—bringing together thought leaders from across the U.S. and Mexico to discuss the future of freight, investment, and security in an increasingly dynamic cross-border environment.

What began eight years ago as an insurance-focused gathering has transformed into one of the most anticipated forums for cross-border collaboration. Today, it serves as a powerful platform for logistics professionals, customs brokers, technology innovators, and capacity providers to come together and exchange actionable insight.

Industry Conversations That Matter

Our 2025 seminar featured a dynamic range of panels and keynotes addressing some of the most pressing topics in cross-border trade, including:

• What to expect from the 2026 USMCA review with new presidential leadership in both the U.S. and Mexico

• Smart strategies for utilizing warehouse space across the border

• Key factors cross-border investment firms are tracking this year

• How to properly vet and partner with cross-border carriers

• Practical tech for logistics operations in Mexico

• A U.S.-Mexico customs brokerage discussion featuring U.S. Customs and Border Protection

A recurring theme throughout the day was the critical need for modern, effective cargo insurance solutions.

The Growing Demand for Cross-Border Insurance

As cross-border freight volume rises, so does the complexity—and risk. A 3% increase in cargo truck hijackings was reported in Mexico in 2023, underscoring why insurance is more vital than ever. Our EVP and Head of International Logistics, Mark Vickers, spoke to the key differences between U.S.-issued and Mexican cargo insurance, highlighting how many traditional Mexican policies fall short on coverage, documentation, and claim reliability.

U.S.-issued Mexican cargo insurance, like what we offer through Borderless Coverage, empowers shippers and brokers with a stronger, more dependable solution—delivering claim resolutions directly in the U.S., without the delays and exclusions typical of Mexican-issued policies.

Because Mexican law caps carrier liability and only covers negligence, shippers are often left vulnerable. Borderless Coverage fills this gap with transparent, tailored policies that reduce disputes, simplify compliance, and protect operational flow.

Tools to Improve Visibility and Risk Awareness

Our commitment to solving real problems doesn’t stop at insurance. That’s why we created the Cargo Truck Hijacking Portal, the first and only open-source database for cargo hijackings in Mexico. This tool provides journalists, logistics professionals, and nearshoring strategists with access to curated federal data to better understand risk along key transit routes.

Looking Ahead

The cross-border landscape is changing fast—driven by nearshoring, new leadership, and global economic shifts. To navigate that change, industry stakeholders must work together. Events like Modernization of Cross-Border Trade allow us to share knowledge, build stronger partnerships, and push the conversation forward.

We’re already looking ahead to the 9th Annual Modernization of Cross-Border Trade in 2026 and remain committed to serving as a trusted partner in logistics, insurance, and cross-border innovation.
