Transportation Insurance Update: July 2024.

Welcome,

As our clients' needs expand and evolve, so too does our team. We strive to best anticipate your needs as we adapt to deliver the high-touch service we expect from ourselves the same.

This month we spotlight one of the newest additions to our team, Francisco Lescano. A licensed attorney having worked with companies like General Motors and New Alliance, we invite you to learn more about Francisco below and stay tuned for more SWAN team updates.

Many of you know our Director of Transportation Marc Crawford who has spent significant time on the road this year. After speaking at TTA's RevUp Summer Symposium in Niagara Falls, NY, he was at the Traversa Roadshow kickoff event.

At the event, Marc caught up with the Broda team - they offer everyday manual and non-emergency medical transport wheelchairs for improved comfort and mobility - as part of our ongoing support with NEMT operators. You can learn more about Broda's Traversa Transport Wheelchair here.

Marc provides quarterly updates, helping you source reliable options and leverage our partner network to book more rides and stay ahead of the curve. If you haven't already, sign up to receive his updates here. Select "Non-Emergency Medical Transport" - he goes beyond this topic area and shares much more that could help you grow your business. You can also text him or schedule a call here.

Last month our Cross-Border Specialist Kevin Mealey shared intel on trade, including this chart on the Mexican states exporting the most to the US. You can download the report here in case you missed it. We believe the report presents contract opportunities to grow your business the same.

He also shared our exclusive Occupational Accident program covering B1 drivers in the US. From accidents resulting in bodily injury and sickness to covering flights and family travel, your B1 drivers would be covered. You can schedule a call with him as well by clicking here. If you visit the same signup link we shared before and choose "Cross-Border Trucking," you can receive Kevin's quarterly updates direct as well.

Workers' Comp Specialist Amy Luong discovered business owners were paying higher than necessary premiums due to inaccurate employee classifications. In case you missed it, you can see her break this down using public records in her video - watch it here.

She recently shared another opportunity where you can lower premiums by influencing your X-Mod. More details on this below including links to text/WhatsApp her. Get access to her quarterly updates here when you select "Commercial Transportation & Workers' Comp."

We were also presented a program by Rellevate to help you attract and retain drivers, reduce absenteeism, better track driver cashflow and more - details below the same.

Until our next update, we thank you for being part of our community and welcome your feedback as we work to help you grow your business and Sleep Well At Night.

Thank you,

The Key Factor in Workers' Comp Premiums: X-Mod

Your X-Mod - Experience Modification Factor - plays a crucial role in your workers' compensation costs. A lower X-Mod means lower premiums and a healthier bottom line.

Amy has been helping fleets lower premiums, prevent injuries from becoming claims, on-site treatment with bilingual technicians, prevent fraud and more. Connect with her to learn what's possible for your business.

SWAN Insurance is wonderful. They have helped me save plenty of money on my commercial truck insurance. Amy is a great agent. - Barry D.
