Our company’s owners are loggers and log truckers, and our agency was founded in 2005 for the express purpose of specializing in logging insurance. When we say we know your industry, we really mean it. Logging contractors are some of the hardest working, most down-to-earth, generous, and dedicated people we know. We admire you and the hard work (and very early mornings!) you put in, day in and day out. We have spent two decades working on insurance for logging contractors. Though the insurance companies often change, we are always in your corner, representing you and your business to the insurers from a place of respect and understanding of your business.
In 2022, we launched a new insurance program for Northwest logging contractors called Axe Insurance Group. There’s nothing else like Axe in the market and we’re the only agency that has it. Let’s see if Axe is a fit for your operation!
The lines of insurance needed by a logger, log trucker, log road builder, or other forest products contractor can vary, but generally include:
- General liability with loggers broad form – We have multiple options and long-established relationships with the insurers who offer this.
- Commercial automobile – Log trucks can’t be insured just anywhere. Let us help you find the best home for your auto insurance.
- Equipment – Let’s face it, fires and rollovers can happen. Don’t leave hundreds of thousands of dollars just sitting in the woods unprotected.
- Excess Liability – Some mills and landowners require higher liability limits, plus having excess liability over your general liability and auto liability is usually a good idea. Luckily, this is one of the cheapest types of insurance you’ll buy.
- Property – Shops, storage yards, offices, and everything in them that stays on site needs property insurance if you want a check instead of a hole in your pocket after a loss.
- Workers compensation – Our agency is a subsidiary of Associated Loggers Exchange, an insurance company owned by its policyholders since 1979. We know workers compensation insurance like the back of our hand.
