Life is a Highway

You are probably familiar with the song by Tom Cochrane, Life is a Highway. By the time I was 35 years old, I had visited every state in the US. Even now, I’ve never lost the sense of wonder and adventure as I travel. By the way - I’m really sorry that you now have that song stuck in your head!

There are two things I love about road trips in the United States; the opportunity to see the beauty and diversity of our country and the wonderful people I meet along the way. After reading about funny road signs, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are a lot of people out there just like me; for instance, there's a sign in California which advises, “Brakeless trucks, use freeway.” Or this one along Oregon’s winding coast, which warns, “Emergency stopping only. Whale watching is not an emergency. Keep driving.” The one I liked best is posted on a highway in Alaska, “Choose your rut carefully. You’ll be in it for the next two hundred miles.”

This got me thinking, if I am in a ‘rut’ when and how did I choose it and where is the nearest exit?

What rut are you in? Have you gotten ‘used’ to passing up business your contract carriers don’t want? Have you avoided pursuing classes of business because the underwriter you reached out to brushed you off? Are you still sending work comp business to the state fund because you aren’t sure where else to go? Fortunately for you, the metaphorical exit sign is coming up!

If you think of Tuscano for only certain types of ‘small’ business then think again. We are a wholesale insurance broker focused on meeting the brokerage needs of our customers whether the need is a 100+ unit trucking fleet or a nine-story apartment complex. We care just as much about giving you great customer service on a motorcycle policy or a personal umbrella as we do for writing a contractor or a nightclub. You can call us if your customer needs coverage for a professional exposure that you aren’t sure was covered before or data breach coverage that you need someone to advise you on. Sure, there are brokers out there that claim to be the experts on Trucking, Professional Liability or Restaurants, but it is more than likely that Tuscano has the markets to write your business and just as importantly, we love the challenge of solving your insurance problems and the opportunity to make your day a better one.

Life is a highway • I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way • I wanna drive it all night long

See you on the road!
