Cottingham & Butler Transportation Group provides first-class insurance solutions to over 2,500 trucking companies across the U.S. Our service extends beyond buying insurance to helping our clients with safety, claims, and compliance challenges. As the leading insurance broker in the transportation industry, we provide better solutions, better advice, and better results. 

We are currently adding experienced transportation producers. Joining our sales team will allow you access to the markets, tools, and expertise needed to write more business. You will also work with a top-notch service team that will ensure that you retain more business. A bigger book of business = more money in your pocket! This position requires 3 years of experience in Transportation Insurance.

Here are a few things that set us apart:

  • Our Team. 300 experienced professionals that specialize in the trucking industry and have the vision and expertise to help our clients clearly identify the risks they face and develop the necessary steps to mitigate or avoid them
  • Market Access. Our experience and reputation in the transportation industry give us the ability to secure the most competitive terms from the top insurance markets.
  • Our Solutions. We offer a full range of traditional and non-traditional insurance solutions, including in-house claims, safety management, and captive insurance services. We also offer an independent contractor platform and brokerage claims advocacy. The best part- the services aren’t charged back to the producer.
  • Trucking Captives. We are the exclusive broker for 7 trucking captives, including the two largest in the world. There are over 245 captive members and a 99% retention rate in our captives.
  • Clients love us. They choose us because they see value in the services we offer and stay with us because we exceed their expectations. The Transportation Division has an average annual organic growth rate of 12.5% and our client retention is over 95%. 

Ultimately, we like to win and have a track record of doing it year-over-year.
