Who we are

Built by trucking people, for trucking people.

We're not a call center that happens to sell trucking policies. Trucking is the only thing we do, which is exactly why we know the carriers, the filings, and what one bad claim can do to a growing operation.

The Road Ready Insurance team

The people behind your policy

Real people, not a call center.

When you call Road Ready, you reach a real person who takes the time and the effort to fully protect your business, not a script, not a ticket queue, not a chatbot. This is the team that actually handles your account, the same faces at every renewal.

Where Road Ready came from

Years in the industry, one problem that wouldn't go away.

Our roots go back to 2012, when the first of our sister companies opened its doors. Years of living inside the trucking industry taught Derek and Tracy Madon something they couldn't unsee: their clients could rarely find an insurance agency they actually trusted.

The market was, and still is, crowded with agencies that pump out fast policies and five-minute quotes, the kind that look fine right up until there's an accident and the coverage isn't really there. They decided to build the opposite.

Road Ready exists to take the risks of running a fleet as seriously as the operators who live them. That means coverage built around your actual operation, not a template, and the time it takes to get every account right.

The founders

Derek & Tracy Madon.

After years in the industry, Derek and Tracy Madon kept running into the same wall on behalf of their clients: there was almost nowhere to send a fleet owner for insurance they could genuinely trust.

So they started Road Ready to be that place, an agency that digs into the details, treats every operator's risk like it's their own, and measures success by how well you're protected when it actually counts, not by how fast a quote went out the door.

Our culture

A close team that actually has each other's backs.

The way we treat each other inside Road Ready is the way we treat you: with respect, loyalty, and a lot of mutual support. We're a tight team, not a floor of interchangeable reps, and you feel that in every conversation.

We back each other

Mutual support isn't a poster on the wall. It's how the team actually runs, and it's why the person on your account never has to figure it out alone.

Different strengths, on purpose

Every agent here brings something the others don't. When we hire, we look for people who genuinely care about getting it right, not just closing a policy.

We take your risk seriously

Running a fleet carries real exposure, and we treat it that way. No copy-paste policies, no shortcuts, the time it takes to get each account right.

More than insurance

A whole trucking ecosystem behind you.

Insurance is just where we start. Through our sister companies, one relationship plugs you into equipment sales, financing, fuel savings, roadside support, and more, a network built for trucking instead of a pile of vendors who've never sat in a cab.
