The Policy Costs the Same

Go direct to Progressive, use us, use a bad agent—same price. The commission is baked in. You're paying it either way.

Best Advice, Same Price

This is the only time in life where the best costs the same as the worst. Like getting Michael Jackson at your wedding for the price of the impersonator.

You're Shopping for a Partner

You think you're buying a policy. You're actually choosing who picks up when you call, who problem-solves with you, who has your back.

Straight Answers

How much does trucking insurance cost?

It depends on experience, equipment, what you haul, and safety record. New authority with newer truck: expect $10,000-$18,000/year. We'll give you a real quote based on your situation.

Is your price lower than other agencies?

Same carriers, same base price if they did it right. The difference shows up later—when you need to add a truck, change something, or have a question. That's when expertise matters.

How fast can I get a quote?

Most quotes same day. If you have your info ready, often within a couple hours.

I just got my authority. Where do I start?

Call us. We'll walk you through what coverage you need and how to get your filings done.

Do I need cargo insurance?

Practically yes—most brokers won't work with you without it. Standard is $100K.

Why RMS Exists

RMS Truck Insurance was founded on a simple idea: truckers could run their business better if they got better explanations.

Running a trucking company takes a team of experts—compliance, lending, dispatch, maintenance. Only one of them is actually behind the wheel delivering freight. We're saying: let us handle the insurance side so you can handle everything else.

When you call RMS, things happen. Fast and right. You get straight answers in plain English.

That's what "finally, someone on your side" means.
