Venice, FL – October 26, 2009 – Truck insurer, 1st Guard Corporation, today announced that TRUCKER1, a free mobile application for the iPhone, is now available on the Apple App Store. TRUCKER1 is the first mobile application developed specifically for owner operators. “The iPhone provides a perfect platform for extending information to and communication with our customers.” stated Daniel Ribar, Chief Information Officer for 1st Guard Corporation. “For owner operators, TRUCKER1 represents a new level of productivity.”Anyone can download TRUCKER1 and use the free tools for transmitting route and location details to the e-mail and Facebook accounts of friends and family members. However, TRUCKER1 has added functionality for 1st Guard® customers including instant coverage verification, which replaces the need to carry insurance ID cards, and an easy but technically advanced claims submission process. “We used the full gambit of technologies – GPS, reverse geo-coding, social-networking, geo-stamping images, web services and more to define what an app like this should be” commented Ribar.
1st Guard Corporation has announced a 10% insurance discount for all qualifying users beginning January 1, 2010.

That’s commitment to truckers!
