1st Guard® Develops another iPhone® Application for Truckers

Venice, FL– November 30, 2009 - Truck insurer, 1st Guard Corporation, has developed another iPhone application called AheadofMe, designed for the American trucker in mind. AheadofMe can be easily downloaded for free from the Apple iTunes store.

Simple in design, AheadOfMe takes into account the users current location and factors in speed and direction of travel to determine the future destination. Additionally, the application displays the high and low temperature along with speed, latitude & longitude and course direction giving the user a full view of their environment.

“AheadOfMe is the first app of its kind that gives our customers quick information pertinent to them being on the road. It was designed specifically for long-haul truckers who will benefit from knowing destination and weather info at a glance,” stated Daniel Ribar, Chief Information Officer of 1st Guard Corporation.

Truck Insurer Offers New iPhone® App

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.

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. The company anticipates that TRUCKER1 will ultimately lead to lower processing and customer service costs. “We’ve literally put an insurance company in the palm of our customers’ hand and topped it off with premium savings,” said Mr. Ribar.
