About the author
Nazar Mamaev
Working commercial trucking insurance broker. Founder of IQS Booster.
I run a commercial trucking insurance brokerage out of Indianapolis, Indiana. I bind primary auto liability, motor truck cargo, physical damage, and the rest of the standard trucking-insurance product set across the United States — every business day.
I built IQS Booster because the tooling for trucking insurance agents is fragmented. FMCSA QCMobile in one tab, SAFER in another, the MGA’s appetite letter on PDF, the carrier’s loss runs in email, ACORD 125 in the AMS — and a clock that says I have eighteen minutes before my next carrier call. IQS Booster pulls the public government data into one screen so agents can vet a carrier fast and move on.
What I write about on this blog
- Carrier vetting playbooks.Reading CAB reports, interpreting SMS BASIC scores from an underwriter’s perspective, identifying chameleon carriers, vetting new MC authorities.
- Submission packet workflows. ACORD 125 / 126 / 140 checklists for trucking risks, loss-run packaging, MVR review, driver-schedule QA, narrative templates for high-risk submissions.
- Underwriting appetite. Which carriers and MGAs write what — by class (dump, hotshot, reefer, tow, hazmat), by risk profile (new venture, high-risk, mid-market), by geography.
- Agency tech stack. Independent comparisons of CAB, SaferWatch, CarrierOK, Highway, and the AMS / CRM tools that actually fit a trucking-specialty practice.
- Renewal & claims handling. The 60/30/10 renewal cadence, BOR letter mechanics, mid-term cancellations, cargo-claim workflow, denied-claim playbooks.
- Agency expansion into trucking.For P&C agents and personal-lines agencies considering commercial trucking as the next line of business.
