First Guard Insurance Company Adds Two More States to Their Portfolio

Venice, Florida (December 12, 2013) –  Specialty truck insurer First Guard Insurance Company announced today they received approval to write truck physical damage and non-trucking liability insurance in the states of Virginia and Washington.  Adding these two states to First Guard’s portfolio brings their state count to twenty-eight (28), of which most are concentrated east of the Mississippi. First Guard is actively writing truck insurance for individual owner operators and motor carriers that reside in these two states.

“A few years ago we added South Dakota to broaden our reach westward and now, adding Washington even further increases our potential to write business in the West,” commented Ed Campbell, Chairman of First Guard Insurance Company. “The addition of Virginia completes the puzzle of being able to write truck insurance in almost all of the states east of the Mississippi,” added Campbell.

First Guard Insurance Company, rated “A” by AM Best, is the only specialty truck insurer in the country that does not market through independent insurance agents.
