CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Amwins Transportation Underwriters (ATU) recently announced a strategic collaboration with Lancer Insurance Company, the commercial auto division of Core Specialty, to form a new carrier relationship that’s designed to enhance two key trucking programs provided through ATU.
The business will be written on StarStone National Insurance Company paper backed by Lancer’s claims handling, according to a news release.
The two programs include ATU’s Advantage program, which is exclusive through a select group of retail brokers that target motor carriers with up to 25 units and offer forms and coverages designed specifically for the trucking industry.
Also included is ATU’s exclusive Environmental Transportation program, which offers coverage for transportation clients handling hazardous materials and bulk environmental commodities.
