Howden has launched its new US Trucking Practice as part of an expansion of its Specialty Transportation and Logistics vertical, aimed at supporting trucking and fleet operators across the country.

The practice will work with trucking companies and wider fleet operators across the transport sector, focusing on casualty risk, fleet safety, claims handling and total cost of risk. It brings together insurance placement, risk advice and claims support within the firm’s existing Transportation and Logistics team.

Thomas O’Donnell, practice head, Transportation and Logistics, Howden US, said: “Trucking companies are dealing with more volatility on every front. Claims, litigation, regulation and cost pressure. Our goal is simple: bring the right people, the right data, and the right solutions to the table to help clients protect their business and keep America moving. This is the right team to do just that.”
