Transport Insurance Management Services

What Transport Insurance Management Services does

Transport Insurance Management Services, LLC (TIMS) is a privately held boutique insurance brokerage headquartered in Marlton, New Jersey, that places insurance and risk management solutions exclusively for the motor carrier and transportation industry. The firm serves transportation companies of all sizes — including motor carriers, trucking operators, tow operators, and logistics intermediaries — through a sales-led, direct relationship model in which agents deliver customized coverage programs. The company's positioning explicitly contrasts itself with large brokers, emphasizing client-first service and ex-broker talent with over 50 years of combined transportation-insurance experience.

TIMS distributes a broad, modular product suite organized across Business Coverage (General Liability, Professional Liability, Workers' Compensation, BOP, Health), Commercial Coverage (Auto Liability, Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Motor Truck Cargo, Motor Truck General Liability, Non-Trucking Liability, Trailer Interchange, Warehousemen's Legal Liability, Contingent Cargo), Vehicle Protection (Physical Damage, Collision, Comprehensive), Tow-Specific coverages (Garagekeepers Legal Liability, On-Hook Towing Insurance), and Specialty Coverage (Commercial Excess/Umbrella, Truck Broker/Freight Forwarder/Logistics Liability, Management Liability, and Large Deductible/Captive Programs). The underlying capability is placement and risk-management expertise rather than proprietary technology: the stack is described as 'insurance risk management and placement technology for the transportation industry' with no disclosed apps, APIs, or AI tooling.

Revenue is generated through insurance placement commissions and risk management service fees under quote-based, multi-year contracts tailored to each client's risk profile and program type. The firm extends its offering through three named strategic partners — Fleming & Hall Administrators (claims/risk management), Signature Captive Solutions (captive and alternative risk), and Dunn Corporate Resources (HR/unemployment services) — enabling TIMS to bundle adjacent services without building them in-house. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven, supported by a content-style website and phone/email outreach, with no disclosed institutional backing, funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available data.
