The collaboration combines Cover Whale’s trucking insurance capacity with CoverWallet’s distribution strengths, according to a Cover Whale statement. As part of the relationship, Cover Whale says it will offer its advanced telematics and proprietary quoting and binding technology to CoverWallet’s independent owner-operator and small fleet trucking customers, a traditionally underserved segment of the insurance market.

This agreement allows us to simplify the insurance process for truckers looking for fast, customizable coverage that helps them drive more, earn more, save more, and focus on the road.”
