Atlantic Specialty Lines, Inc. (ASL) provides a focused Auto Transportation Insurance program built for agents and brokers who need flexible, competitive solutions for transportation clients. ASL’s underwriting team combines practical transportation experience with responsive service to place both standard accounts and harder-to-place risks. From local haulers to regional moving companies and long-haul operators, ASL offers coverage structures designed to match a variety of vehicle types and operations.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
ASL’s program is tailored for a broad mix of commercial auto and transportation classes. Typical accounts include:
- Dump truck operators
- For-hire trucking companies
- Garbage and refuse collection vehicles
- Moving van services
- Non-emergency medical transportation providers
- Public livery operations
- Farm and agricultural vehicles
- Cement and logging trucks
Additionally, ASL has appetite for artisan contractors and haulers, making the program a useful option for agents with mixed commercial auto books or specialty hauling needs.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
ASL writes coverages on a package or monoline basis and can tailor terms to the operation and vehicle mix. Key coverages include:
- Primary Liability – Limits up to $1,000,000; operating radius options including local, intermediate and higher-mileage programs (radius options up to 500 miles where appropriate)
- Physical Damage – Flexible physical damage terms to fit trucks, tractors, trailers and specialty equipment
- Cargo – Coverage for loss or damage to transported goods for applicable classes
- Excess Liability – Layering options for accounts that need higher limits
- Radius Flexibility – Local, intermediate and unlimited options to match client operations
These coverages help insureds manage liability exposure, protect rolling stock after a loss, and address cargo exposures that impact revenue and operations.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting evaluates each submission on its own merits, with attention to driving history, fleet composition, vehicle age, cargo type, and operating radius. ASL can consider more challenging risks, but complete submissions with loss runs, MVRs, vehicle schedules, and operation details will speed turnaround. Minimum premiums vary by class, coverages selected, and operating radius; discuss specifics with the underwriting team when submitting.
