Truck Writers started in 1983 and has since become one of the largest truck insurance agencies in the nation. From the very beginning, our goal was – and still is today – to partner with our transportation insurance customers and to learn as much about their business as we knew about our own.

Truck Writers grew from a four person firm to an agency with over 30 employees and two locations - Blaine, MN and Welcome, MN. Our staff is continuously educated and trained to service the insurance needs of our trucking customers and understand the importance of timeliness as it pertains to getting freight moving.

Truck Writers is very involved in trucking related issues through our participation in the Minnesota Trucking Association, Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association, Transportation Club of Minneapolis, Minnesota Transport Services Association and the American Trucking Association. Our employees have received some of the highest honors designated by the Minnesota Trucking Association and continue to serve on their board and various committees. We are committed to your industry.
